The library is a comfort zone to me. I can come here to Valencia’s East campus Library and work in peace but also relax at my leisure. Not to mention the staff here are so nice and accommodating to me. They try to help me with whatever I need. Plus the staff appear to enjoy being at the library themselves. It’s always a calm environment  for me to be myself in. All the pressures of the world just kinda lift when I enter the library.

The library is my safe haven.  I can be who I am whenever I don't just open up a book. I open an adventure. The library is my most comfortable zone to head into my said adventure.

For me, the library has always been a place of peace,  to study or relax in between classes. It's my go-to location to make sure I "get stuff done". The environment allows me to be incredibly productive and knock out my course work. And the resources offered are bonuses to help equip me throughout my education.

The Library is highly dear to me. Libraries represent calmness & overall tranquility, which is what I love. In a library, you can conduct research for assignments without any stress at all. There are helpful librarians that love to help college students with research. The Valencia College libraries are very stellar.

To me the library means peace, purposeful resources and people to help push you towards your purpose. My educational "tool belt" isn't complete without some time spent each semester in the library quietly studying or seeking help with the tutors on site. I'm grateful for all that the library provides to us students and I can truly say my grades are better for it.

The library is a place where I know I can go to get peace of mind while studying. While on campus I usually get to group study and reserve study rooms where I get most of my beneficial work done early. Having a place to go where I have no distractions in a studious setting is generally what I’m looking for. The resources that are available in the library help me become a better student.

There are so many things that a library is capable of doing for someone. For me, the library is a safe haven to know that my resources are right on hand and that this is a safe place to learn and grow individually. Having tools at hand makes my learning an experience and not just a place of books or computers. It is a gathering place of like mind people who as well want to grow and learn. It is the start of forever giving method of education---- just as in the childhood book "The Giving Tree", the library will always be able to give and give time and time again. No matter how big or small it is a place that will give even the smallest amount of something that when you walk out it is with a newfound source of education that will be on a journey in life with you.

The library is the place I spend almost all my day on Monday and Wednesday. It is the place that shares my stress and my worries when I have an assignment to submit, or when I review for a test. Moreover, the library is the most comfortable place on campus because it is always quiet, and I always feel like I am home. I always like to sit near the windows because the view is very beautiful from here.

The library has always been a place of calm and belonging for me. It's a space in which I can assess so many resources for both my classes and for my own personal pursuit of knowledge. It's also a frequent meeting place for me and my classmates to study, and a meeting place for student activities (Tabletop gaming space, D&D).

For me, Osceola Campus Library means a calm place to focus on my study and a place to organize my ideas. I sometimes take advantage of the printer and made copies too!  I am really enjoying my time at Valencia because librarians have helped me many times from giving me recommendation about what to read to how to study better.
Thank you very much for the opportunity.

The library means a lot to me, is the place where I spend the majority of my time on campus. I love to read also, it would be really nice to win.

Having the library as open access to me as a student at Valencia means that I have the world at my fingertips. Having a resource as wide and generous as a college library opens a world of education to me that I could not be more grateful for. As a woman who grew up on the poverty line, education was something I had a deep hunger for, except it was not as easily accessible to me at that time. Now that I am older and more established, I am given opportunities I could have never thought to imagine with Valencia. College did not always feel like an option, but now that I am a student and have a place to learn and study anything I so please, I am so grateful for the school that is making that dream possible.

I walk up the stairs. Suddenly, there is no more whirr of fluorescent lights or chattering of students, only books and tranquility. Vast amounts of knowledge; more than one person could ever acquire, yet here it is. I pass my hands over the spines and wish for an eternity, but settle for just checking out a book. It never satisfies, I always find myself wandering through the stacks.

# data[].attributes.body
When I go to the library , I feel at peace. There’s lots of books that I can dive my nose in, and lots of knowledge to obtain.  I can travel through different time periods and visit different countries  with a flip of a page. Paris is awaiting me and Thomas Jefferson in the year of 1804 , in the library I can explore.

The library means to me a place of discovery. Not only do I use it for educational discovery but I use it for personal discovery too. I can find information on any topic and read non-fiction to widen my knowledge. I can also find fiction-based books that I love to read in my free time. No matter what I read (or even if I just use my laptop and work on classes) I always leave the library with more knowledge than I entered with.

# data[].attributes.body
The library to me means an unless opportunity of learning and growth. Why you may ask. The reason I believe a library has an endless amount of learning and growth is because of the number of resources, books, databases and so much more educational opportunities. The librarian’s are also also their to help and give you help and advice.

A library means a lot to me. I am an inspiring writer, so I need to visit the library whenever it is possible so I can sit in a quiet area and work on my stories. Reading other books also helps me with coming up with ideas and improving my writing skills. Besides that, I LOVE to read. When you pick up a book and start reading, it feels like you are in the story or watching a movie in your head, like imagining the scenes, for example. For instance, when you read the Harry Potter series, it feels like you're emerging into the wizarding world. It feels like you are there. Lastly, a library is a good place to find information and resources on specific topics such as cooking, politics, culture, art, and so on. Sure, you can do all of that online, but what's the fun in that? And what would happen if we didn't have technology? A library is a good way to go.

The library is home. The library is an escape. The library is an opportunity to be or do something extraordinary. The library is a way of life for book lovers to connect with their community through books, to bond over stories that have been told for generations or ones that are brand new and waiting to be discovered. To me, the library is a home that holds my passion in life, reading and sharing books!

My goal in life is to be a researcher and the librarian give me amazing resources both in the database and the library.

As an online adult student the library has meant much to me but unfortunately wasn't able to utilize it to its full capacity due to starting college in January 2020, due to Covid. I was able to fully engage online needed materials. However, I have missed much on being presently there. As a soon to be graduate of VC I look forward to visiting at a fuller capacity now that the campus is opening back up again fully. The library is to me is the essential heart beat of academia.
