Four reasons the library should affect your college choice

Jeff Greer, contributor to the US News and World Report, writes “if you talk to a college admissions officer or a high school guidance counselor about things to do when you visit a college campus, one of the first things they say is to visit the libraries on campus. Bring a book or some schoolwork, sit down, and soak up the environment.  Can you see yourself there for four years?”

Here are four key questions to ask:

  1. What is the staff like?
  2. How much does the library system and its librarians interact and work with the faculty?
  3. What’s the atmosphere like?
  4. Check the library system website and digital resources.   Do they offer enough resources at any hour of the day?
