When you search the word library in the dictionary, the result you get is a public or private building where books are held. Here at West Chester University, the Francis Harvey Green Library is so much more than that. I’m Lashay, a student worker here at the library and I can attest to the fact that our library is far from the generic definition of a library. At our library, we do more than just provide a home for books. We provided people with a place to further explore their passions, a venue for improvement, a home away from home, and a safe place for all to let loose and socialize.
Our library possesses the qualities to become your home away from home with our 24-5 operating hours and tons of comfy bean bag chairs. We also offer academic year long locker rentals, which gives you a safe place to store your belongings and lighten your load so you can explore the rest of West Chester University's beautiful campus with ease. Our library is the perfect complement to this university because we offer a venue for improvement, through our writing center, testing center, and Library Help Desk. Not to mention all the great study areas you will find on all six floors of the library.
Many students love that our library houses a Starbucks on the first floor, and it is one of the most popular places for students to let loose and socialize. But my favorite place in the library is the 6th floor. The 6th floor is the home of the exercise science and sports management books, and although I’m far from an exercise science major (I am actually a marketing major), I spend lots of time reading fitness books because I am a member of the West Chester University Crossfit Club. I’m always looking to improve my technique.
The library has so much more to offer than what’s generally published about it. I would strongly encourage people to come and find out more about what the library has to offer, and not judge a book by its cover. Hope to see you here sometime! #FHG #WCU @fhglibrary
