Libraries come in different sizes, in which they offer various services to help the community they belong. Philippine Libraries were typically small and medium in size. Even in Colleges and Universities, they are not big enough to call as the Library where you can have it all because of the space shortage.
In other countries, libraries get bigger and better in which they provide more innovative spaces for their clients to study, discuss and relax. According to the articles I read, there are actually more than 10 awesome things to do in the Library with greater spaces.
Here are some of the things you might wanna try to do when you visit big libraries in some places:
Watch Movies
Record a Music Video
Connect to the Internet
Read your Favorite Magazines
Eat chocolates, cake and drink coffee
Print and Scan Documents
Visit the Archives
Conduct a Study Group
Borrow art materials and music tools
Rest behind the shelves
and More...
Modern Technology contributes a lot of good changes to Libraries but the concern focuses on how to put all of them together. Especially when you a have insufficient space to work on. Philippine Libraries offer services based on the needs.
Libraries can be pretty awesome in the most unexpected way.
