Yes, there is a Library at my school. It is a beautiful place to be in because there are not a lot of people. I spend a lot of time there studying and reading a lot. It's one of my favorite places to be in. I feel it as home because people who work there are very kind to me. I would love to be there right now but unfortunately, I spend just 2 hours per day there, I would wish they were more.
