Looking round the library you suddenly realise you are not in an ordinary surrounding. You have been transformed to a different world. A place you can feel at home surrounded by all the different information; where if you wanted to learn about the human body you could do. But not only are you immersed with the stories there you are also immersed in the architecture that is the library. It isn’t just what you see it is how you feel when you enter and really think to yourself how lucky we are as a society to be aloud all that knowledge in one place. That education is a gift and so is the ability to be able to use these books free of charge. An unspoken bond between the library and the community is shown when you are aloud to borrow however many books you need as long as you bring them back so other people can also experience the book like you have done. The mix of both the old and new building shows the history of the library previously being a grain factory and that is still a place of hard labour and work.
If you listen closely you can faintly hear the workers shoes hitting the hard floor and the old machines brimming to help the workers. This mirrors the University of Lincoln students sat at other machines, these being the computers, still working similarly to the workers at the grain factory. A cycle that seems to carry on and will hopefully carry on in this building.
