Marston Science Library



Every science library should be called the Marston Science Library. I mean, how often does one run into a SCIENCE library called something that nice? It's always a serious sounding name, or a big city kinda name. I don't have many examples to put in here, but you could think up what the science library in your town is called. For a place like Gainesville, Marston sounds perfect!

It's a quaint old spot where all us jobless people (in the days we didn't have our laptop) would come to hang out at. Lots of computers arrayed in rows, and lots of interesting people. A very nice structure about the ground floor. It's a SCIENCE library! You just know it when you see it!

God, I am in love with Marston Science Library. The name, the ambience, the computers, the books, the convenient location of the rest-room, the notice board asking for suggestions to improve the library, the nice people writing stuff on a piece of paper to help me locate my java books. And I got my first print/copy card here. That's used to take xerox or printouts.

Landed in the US, and this was one of the first places I saw. Btw.. In the video, the "French Fries" or "Alachua" separates the library and the CS department. Show and tell part 1 over!
