If I dont go to the school can I still go and read in university libraries? In US
Joshua Wright
Where is that?
Asher Wood
90% it's in western Europe somewhere, France/Germany/Benelux. Looks like some Rem Koolhaas bullshit.
Tyler Brown
No, campus security will check your credit rating and then throw you out for being poor
Lucas Brooks
Make kids more accepting of crazy people. Seems ok.
Hudson Rivera
University of Pennsylvania library was open to the general public during certain hours but you couldn’t check books out.
Gabriel Fisher
It's a rendering for an architecture competition that has something to do with the Stockholm Public Library.

Real Gabinete Português de Leitura, the only good thing in Rio de Janeiro.
Charles Smith
Damn that’s amazing

Exterior of my favorite library at my uni (UNC chapel hill). I’ll post a pic of the reading room
Tyler Sanchez
If it’s a public uni, yeah, you should be fine. They might throw you out at midnight but they’ll let you back in around 8 or 9. Just be quiet and don’t disturb anything. Private uni libraries are generally less nice but you oughta be fine. Most US uni libraries sell library cards to non-students for 20 bucks, which seems pretty fucking pricey, but you get access to everything in their collections - movies, language learning, interviews, rare books and manuscripts - so it might be worth it
John Perry
Old pic of the reading room. Looks pretty much the same today. When they built the library it was in the middle of a forest and the campus was the only sign of civilization in a 100 mile radius

>go to a recently established university
>no grand library
>library is nothing more than "study" spaces where most people just browse Instagram all day
Don't get me wrong, I like that my school has these areas - with vending machines, power outlets, and plenty of whiteboards available - but I kinda wish my school had a beautiful library that I could just sit in and enjoy.
Libraries were once the only place to access knowledge in any depth or breadth, but with the internet their original purpose is waning. I understand this, and I'm not really upset about it, just a little disappointed.
Traveling is a very cliched Bucket List item, but it's on mine. I would like to travel the world for no other purpose than to visit the most beautiful, the grandest, the largest libraries.
Not even necessarily to read their books - I can see do this anywhere - but just to admire the beauty.

I go to the University of Warwick and the library is absolutely shocking. Most of the uni's architecture is tho

Jace Howard
The Anschutz stacks are comfy. I slept down there once near the microfiche.
David Ramirez
Assuming you passed a penis inspection in the past seven years you should be fine.
Sebastian Ortiz
My library looks nice... from one angle.
One side is all steel and glass and looks incredible, modern; then they made the other side standard red brick with tiny windows.
Tyler Nguyen
Nolan Ward
this makes me sick beyond believe.
the fact it does not make society sick sickens me further
Jason Baker

you triggered?
Levi Mitchell
Last time i tried to go to a library i just hung out in the garden then went home. Thought they might not let me in. Turns out that's also how i handle most of my life's endeavours.
Luke James
If you want to work in a public library then you better have an appropriate degree, and unless you're connected you probably don't have much of a chance getting a job with a large private collection
David Collins
Justin Lewis
The Morgan Library is peak comfy

How long before the entire thing burns down?

Go for it user, comfiest job you could dream of. See if they have library courses in your country and get to work, I can't speak for all of Europe but in Scandinavia a 3 year bachelor degree involves two longer periods when you go work in libraries to learn how things work, and students frequently get part-time jobs if they show enthusiasm. Good chance for work when you are done, especially public libraries out in the districts if you are willing to move, or in schools if you get some pedagogy as well. The degree is half computer/information science too, so you can switch over to some IT related subject later if you'd rather do something different. Best thing I did in my life was to study library science desu.
Not necessarily, they hire a lot of staff and students to do menial labour in larger public libraries around here, it is cost-inefficient to employ educated librarians for trite work. You don't really need a degree to help people print stuff, show them around, pick books off the shelves and so on. Worth a shot to go in and ask if they need help in the mornings/evenings/weekends.
Brayden Allen
Forgive me if I sound ignorant. I am from Scandinavia aswell, I have a friend whomst’ve dad is a librarian. He studied 3 years for it but I never understood why you need such a long education to become one. Is it something behind te scene that I’m forgetting?
Aiden Stewart
They teach you how to import Somalians to enrich the library
Caleb Hill
Haha! Le epic troll my dude. You sure showed those SJW's
Wyatt Jenkins
You said it, fren
Joshua Nguyen
It is a pretty multipurpose education. You learn metadata and cataloguing for registering and describing books, then you learn a few different types and the principles behind them, then you learn about key word registers and thesaurus and how to make them, more metadata, some statistics and bibliometry, xml, html and other data languages, databases and how to search them and so on.
Next to this you have the social education stuff, modern literature, childrens literature, learning about the history and different movements, the role of the library in society, how to cooperate with schools, how to interact with people and so on. Also two periods of practical work in libraries.
If you just sit behind a desk and put books back on the shelves you'll need very little of it to be honest, but there are tons of librarian jobs behind the scenes who deal with some advanced computer stuff, database management and of course people who manage their own library by themselves in the districts. There are also tons of special libraries, and libraries coupled with schools or archives or different organizations. A fully trained librarian is expected to know at least a little about all of this, so that they will be competent enough to discuss these things with the specialists who supply metadata, programming solutions and so on, even if they don't plan on becoming a specialist themselves.
Not entirely wrong, my local public library is unusable because of all the screaming chimps. Thank god I work in a university setting with mostly native students.
