The book "Englishness" by Simon Featherstone, caught my eye due to the title of the book. I am studying abroad in London next year, and this seemed like the perfect book to flip through for insights on England's cultural identity. Chapter 4, named "Journeys" explores London's role as a cultural and historical hub, which felt relevant.
The library has always been a place for me where I can get work done. Carnegie Library, in particular has definitely been my go-to spot because of its peaceful atmosphere. Sometimes, though, it's almost too quiet. So quiet that if I go with a friend, I have to make a serious effort not to laugh at the most random things. There's something about absolute silence that makes the smallest distractions ten times funnier.
When it comes to technology, my laptop is my lifeline for my schoolwork and anything I need to access. But I also love integrating technology with my library time. Having a physical space like the library ultimately helps me focus, and using my laptop there allows me to get the most out of my time in the quiet environment.
