Old-fashioned library

It was ages ago when I last visited a library.  So today, having nothing to do while I’m in school, I used my new ID (which I got only this semester and I’m already second-year) and went to the library.  The quiet atmosphere and allergy-inducing smell of old books made me reminisce about my college [...]
