Today I visited a library (not LBCC Library). I would like to share with the Library 3 class my thoughts about this library...I rode my bike there on the way home from LBCC...it is the Ruth Bach branch Library. It is a blue building with a bike-parking area in front. It is wheel-chair accessible. The size of the library is approximately equivalent to the re-located LBCC Library in the basement. There are different places to sit. The librarians have their own desk and chair. There are some study tables and chairs. The online library catalog computers have chairs. There is a small children's table with small children's chairs near the children's literature bookshelves. The children's shelves include books for very beginning readers. A special collection they have there is a shelf of Newberry award winning books. On top of some shelves are handmade models of Calif. missions (like the project I had in 4th grade--mine was San Juan Capistrano...where the swallows go). They also have a shelf of guidebooks to all the Calif. missions, which is another special collection! Near the children's side, there is a Family Learning Center sponsored by Boeing (Boeing is an engineering company located near LBCC). They classify the books by Dewey, I think. There are big signs to say what shelves hold what books. Other collections I saw signs for include: Classics (and cliff notes), large print books (for the elderly maybe), Mystery...so many more books. They use the library card system. I did not get a chance to navigate their online catalog because a strange guy was watching me so I left. Actually I had visited this library before, and I read "Lillies of the Field" (I did not know it was a book, but it is). I would also like to mention a recent library visit before I started this Library 3 class...to a little library near my grandma's house where I read some of the little bunny books by Beatrix Potter after watching the new movie Miss Potter at a theater near me. I mention this because LBCC has many bunnies on campus, which are fed bunny food and vegetables and not caged. They let me feed them carrots right out of my hand... ok that is the end of this story.

The Computer Art Lab in Building K is configured with iMac G5 computers with 1 gb ram. Here's a link to a Web page with more information http://art.lbcc.edu/programs/computergraphics/k127usage.html And the Open Access Lab in the Library has Mac computers. Like the Library, it's moving to the basement of Building E on May 31. Thanks for the comment! Yes, there is a lab with PCs in Building B, running CAD and electronics applications.

How immature. I still can't find this room other than the ones on the first floor of the science building. Or maybe I was lied too amusingly enough. Anyhow, thanks for the info.

I found this while browsing around LBCC homepage. Oh so that's what they were doing down there in the basement of Building E when I wandered off in the wrong direction. There are some pretty encouraging re-development going on around campus. 2009 is a little ways off from now but when you're in school; it goes by in the blink of an eye. Nice blog.

This is a great resource. I think it’s pretty amazing that you can view newspaper articles from 1881. This is a great resource.
