New york public library

This Last week my class and I visited the New York public library. We arrived at the library at 10:30 and finished about 12:30. The purpose of this trip was to complete our assignment of familiarizing ourselves with how to use the library’s resources. We met in front of the steps and we were assigned to research the building across from the main library. Our assignment was to research all five floors and find out what kind of books and information they offer. In the first floor my group and I found that it could be used for many things. We found Tourism and travel information that would be very helpful if you were researching information on a place that you were interested in visiting. This floor also provided fiction and non fiction books that seemed very interesting. I think that the best use of the first floor would be the computer lab for people who do not have access to computers. The second floor was good for its collection of past test such as the SAT and its collection of the encyclopedia. This floor also offered health information and a variety of books concerning health. The third floor consisted of books on art, language and picture collection. This floor also offers literary references which is useful if you are researching a project and need references. The fourth floor offered computer laboratories and it also had an information desk which you could use if you need help finding a book or research the proper information for a project. The fifth floor had many history books and a historical atlas. I really enjoyed this trip and I found out how to properly use the library to research a topic.
