The hum of whispering students, pulsating whirs of the air-conditioning, flickering florescent lights: it is curious that the Georgia State library is my favorite place on campus. It is not the physical structure of the place that I enjoy, but it is my experience in between the shelves of books that leads me to this conclusion. Sometimes I visit the library simply to wander through the isles, sifting through book titles and their pages with no intention of locating a particular book. Instead, the titles and covers call for my attention and I respond by flipping through the pages of books that catch my eye. For me, the library lets my mind explore new places, entering into intellectual and imaginative spaces. I am transported, momentarily, from the physical place of the library into a theoretical, immaterial space of the words and my own thoughts. The book creates its own space as I turn the pages and skim a few lines. These trips to the library typically lead to an overabundance of checked-out books that exist in the corner of my room as a stack of unrealistic expectations–spaces and places yet to be discovered, concealed in paperback and hardcovers that I tell myself I will have time to read. After my trips to the library, I often stop at my other favorite places near GSU–the local coffee shops (how will I read all of these books without coffee?). Ebrik has a laid-back atmosphere with a neighborhood feel and cozy coffee-shop ambiance. It is often crowded, but sometimes I can snag a window seat and watch the passersby; I find stillness in the buzz of the city as I sip my coffee, peering into my newly acquired books.
