In my living area, there is no local library, but at my campus university, we have a big library for students. Sometimes I come to the library to learn some subjects before starting class or just simply listen to music or break time!!

sometimes I go to the University library that contrains diverse references in many fields. I like reading books of economics and management. The more you read books the more you get better in study.
