Lauren the Librarian

Lauren is both excited and frustrated about the end of the day. He’s excited because he can finally end today’s work and go home. He’s frustrated because it also means that he need to leave his comfy seat at the front door and search every floor for the ones that are so obsess in staying in the library that they ignored the broadcast of the library is closed. Searching for them is harsh work. These people could be anywhere and there is a possibility that they are moving. As long as one person is still within the library, Lauren cannot leave.

Q: What do you think about being in the library?

David: “It makes me feel a sense of achievement and pride. Even I didn’t do a lot, and my deadline is still chasing after me, I still feel that I have been through a meaningful day. I have came out of bed, came out of my dorm, and actually studied for a whole day in the library! I am proud of myself.”

Bella: “ Every day in the library is a wonderful day! I get to read all the books I like, stay in my favorite seat for the entire day without moving a bit. I hope the library doesn’t close so early, that way I can stay there longer.

Lauren: “I am sick of being in the library! I want to go home. All day I just sit at the front door and watch everyone come and everyone leave. But there is always some STUDENTs who haven’t heard the radio and won’t leave the library. I have to search for them one by one or else I can’t leave. They are stalling my time!”
