         <description><![CDATA[<div>The oval room is a library where we can study, read and play video games. This room is an oval room hence its name. This room is open to everybody and it's free. We can watch more than 20.000 works where we can discover the history of arts and heritage.</div><div><br></div><div>The central area of the room gives the function of reading and also, we can watch a place for consultation, discussion and sharing. On the side, we can see four floors where we can find a lot of books. Also the people only can go to the first floor, on the side of them we can watch some screens, where we can learn about a lot of things, for example,the history of the library. Next to these screens we can watch some computers where we can play some video games or do some research.<br><br>For us, the library is very beautiful, especially because we think the glass room makes the library more interesting and attractive. The feeling of watching all the people studying, makes us desire to study. Also, when we were watching the library, we cast an eye over the books, especially one book about an illustration of Mickey mouse.</div>]]></description>
