The Library gets No Love !

If you ever want to get rid of a Frostburg State student, just blind fold them, and leave them in the library, most likely they will not be able to find their way out. It seems that Frostburg students stay away from the conventional place to study, and find other venues to do school work. Students’ attendance in the library has been very low this semester, but for what reason? When Travis Oliver, form Baltimore Maryland was asked how often he attends the library he answered “15 minutes, twice this week, just to check my Facebook.” Travis is sociology major, so he definitely has to find time to do his work. When Derrick Brown, an engineer major, from Baltimore was asked the same question and he answered, “2 times a week, with a total of 10 hours.” Brett Austin biology major, from Baltimore said he never goes to the library. There are other alternatives when choosing places to study on campus for example, Pullen Hall, as well as the 24 hour lab. Some study at home or with friends. The lack of people in the library may not mean that people are not studying, but could be that the library is becoming obsolete in the Frostburg way of studying.
