A place where you can get lost in a sea of books, magazines, articles, and journals. A place where if you let your imagination run wild, it can take you places that you could only dream of. You can gain so much information by just a click or a flip of a page. It is a world of endless possibilities. ]]> 2022-04-05 12:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130540968 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130542317 To me a library means endless adventures, multiple universes and a world of opportunities that awaits anyone willing to open their minds. ]]> 2022-04-05 12:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130542317 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130544831
 I study at the library 2-4 times a week, usually for 5 hours at a time. To me, the library is a safe, quiet place for me to work hard so I can continue to get good grades and learn the skills I need to know for my future. ]]> 2022-04-05 12:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130544831 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130545664 The library to me a a wonderful place to go and study where there is quite and little distractions.

I usually go to the library to study because it is quiet and I can concentrate better. I also check out books to read. ]]> 2022-04-05 12:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130546496 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130548282 To me, the library means an open world of opportunity. When you think about the large variety of book genres. it is quite amazing. Books enable your emotions, teach you something knew, give you ideas, allow you to use your imagination, and critical thinking skills, just to name a few. The library is a peaceful oasis that contains so much valuable information. Keep reading, knowledge is power ]]> 2022-04-05 12:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130548282 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130549544 The library is one of the places I go to to find peace and to create new ideas.

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. ]]> 2022-04-05 12:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130551519 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130552426  The library is not only a place full of knowledge, but also a community. The library is full of students trying to study and reach their goal. Trying their hardest to achieve their dream, the library makes it possible by offering their resources and help. The librarians, especially, care very much for their students. I personally met with one and they are their for you, helping you to trying to get the knowledge your looking for. The library resources provided online has helped me write research projects and reports. My goal in life is to be a researcher and the librarian give me amazing resources both in the database and the library. ]]> 2022-04-05 12:31:03 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130552426 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130553177 For me, the library is a space for research.

The library is even a place where I can relax and read my favorite book or genres. ]]> 2022-04-05 12:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130559072 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130559839 The library is an area for me to relax and do my work.

The power to live my best life. ]]> 2022-04-05 12:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130560910 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130561927 To me, the Library has been essential to the success of my education. I could not have completed my A.A. without the safe space and resources that the library provides to students. I still utilize the technology available (like Access program) and the tutoring in the academic centers now while I work on my bachelor's degree. The library has been an amazing asset during my education.]]> 2022-04-05 12:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130561927 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130563178 2022-04-05 12:37:48 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130563178 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130564647 The library to me is a place to take a break.

Studying there, I am surrounded with great academic resources like books, articles, Librarians, tutors. Also a place to connect with other students who are in the reading club or math/ science club!]]> 2022-04-05 12:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130566411 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130568926 The library is my oasis for concentration. ]]> 2022-04-05 12:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2130568926 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132771703 The library is a dedicated place to get work done and focus on my career and future goals.

The library, to me, has meant a resourceful quiet spot that I can always rely on at Valencia. It's been super useful throughout my studies. I utilize many of the free services the library offers including rentals (textbooks and graphing calculator), tutoring in the academic center, and the computers also (for programs like Microsoft Access). Overall the library has been essential to my continued success in school. ]]> 2022-04-06 14:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132780008 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132784622 The library means to me a safe place. When I first came to America, the only place where i feel in peace was with a good book and in a relax place as it was the library to me. Library means ideas, creativity, intelligence and a lot of others definitions. To be capable of appreciate the library and understand how can transport ourselves in a new world thorough a new book anytime, it means a splendid experience. ]]> 2022-04-06 14:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132784622 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132787751 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! ]]> 2022-04-06 14:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132787751 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132789558 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. ]]> 2022-04-06 14:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132789558 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132790996 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. ]]> 2022-04-06 14:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132790996 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132792525 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. ]]> 2022-04-06 14:51:16 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2132792525 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2134896899 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. ]]> 2022-04-07 16:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2134896899 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2134900845 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. ]]> 2022-04-07 16:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2134900845 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2134901995 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. ]]> 2022-04-07 16:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2134901995 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2134903097 The library means a lot to me, is the place where I spend the majority of my time on campus.

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. ]]> 2022-04-07 16:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2134907507 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2134909243 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). ]]> 2022-04-07 16:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2134909243 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2134910628 The library is my escape, it is a place where I can go to de-stress and work in peace.

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.]]> 2022-04-12 20:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141418645 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141419457 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. ]]> 2022-04-12 20:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141419457 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141420469 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. ]]> 2022-04-12 20:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141420469 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141420980 The library is a place where I can study in peace and surround myself with the most useful and reliable resources. ]]> 2022-04-12 20:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141420980 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141421639  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. ]]> 2022-04-12 20:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141421639 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141422136 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. ]]> 2022-04-12 20:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141422136 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141422628 2022-04-12 20:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141422628 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141423605 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. ]]> 2022-04-12 20:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141423605 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141424065 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. ]]> 2022-04-12 20:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141424065 courtneydmoore https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141424441
 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. ]]> 2022-04-12 20:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/courtneydmoore/1ed4ucbn6f2cffql/wish/2141424441
