Borrow books from Toronto Public Library

It's been my long time hope to read books as many as possible in spare time. Today I can realize my idea now that Toronto has a very well-known library to serve the public. I borrowed three books from Toronto Public Library the day before yesterday. The self-service procedure is very simple-just follow the instruction shown in the screen on the library counter, simply sweep the library card, then put books you want to borrow on a platform to be automatically recorded, wait a second for your receipt. Then you can take the books away to read. The librarian was very kind to tell me that the books could be returned at any other branches other than the certain library where I borrowed books. The library is very near from my residence,which allows me to borrow books easily. So I should try to read more books since books are the best friends of humans.

My hope of reading started in college time. I love library as soon as I entered college a dozen years ago. Back to college times, my school was quite a small institute covering a limited area with several buildings, among which I love library building the best. The library was the best and largest building on our campus, which had a large collection of books and publications. That time, I could spend a whole afternoon in the reading room when I have no class to attend.  I was interested in reading different magazines and books. Sometimes, I borrowed several books from the library and read them in the dormitory. I often intended to read more books but it turned to be missions impossible all the time. College life was not very busy, and not very easy either. When you wanted to do something interesting, you found that you had to attend classes or attend school activities. The institute boost into a large college by mergence with another school shortly after my graduation, and then moved to a new campus in rural area very far away from the old campus. And the old campus field was sold to a building company to build condos for sale. Sometimes, I think of the library on the old campus, but it lives only in memory and history. I feel pity about the school mergence, but that is the same story for many schools in that land. Fortunately, I graduated before school mergence, which allowed me to use library conveniently.

It's great I am no longer a college student any more. So I have more time to read books. I think public library will be one of my useful and free schools from now on.
