Libraries vs Saving Earth

The first time I ever set foot in a library was because of comic books and internet access, but other than that I thought it was boring. To tell you the truth I never liked to read until I snapped out of that mentality because reading is the way of life and we got to do it in order to pass anything like college. Talking about college our class went on a trip to the library on bryant park 42 street. First I had to go with my group to the regular library across the street from the "fancy" library after. We went to the library and started our hunt for what each information each floor had, we started on the third floor. That floor was about art inluence and different art cultures. We asked a librarian to search for a grafitti artisit called "Bansky" she ended up flipping out and yelling at us saying the computer is never wrong and she didn't type it wrong. We left the her presence immediately and asked another librarian for help, that he did. We didn't find the artisit but found old grafitti portraits. We went to the fourth floor that was specifically about periodicals and computer classes. My group ended up play tag, we all sat down when we found out they called security on us (pure luck). We went on the fifth floor, it had info on history and socail sciences, biographies, religion, philosophy, and folklore. We went back to the first floor which was basically about traveling and culture. The second floor is about general reference like health, education, job, and accesibility services. After we did that we went to eat and went straight to the "fancy" library. That library was very sophisticated. It had one copy of originals from back then and is updated everytime. We saw the orginal latin "Bible" and the original dolls from Winnie the Pooh. We saw the library and it looks very old inside and very peaceful to do work there.
All the stuff I do to save the planet is on week five and it has still been the same ever since but I'm trying trying to save planet earth and do the same its cool!
