You should say:
where it was
what the library looks like *
what facilities it had (or, what type of library it was)
and explain why you went there.
This sounds like a homework question.
Well, there is a library up the street from me that i have visited on a regular basis ever since i was a little kid. Its a very old building, probably built back in the early 1900s. I go there for various things. Years ago before i had a computer i would go there to use the ones they had. You can also check out movies/DVDs from libraries now-for free. Why pay at the video store? I stop in every now and then to use the copy machine. Im not much in to reading anymore so i havent checked a book out in ages.
Describe a library that you visited. (For example, a public library, school or university library)?

Miami Beach Public Library
All employees are gays or blacks.
If they don’t like your face they make it miserable for you
The computers are very often out of order (the system falls)
But they have a good selection in books
They used to have good selections on Cd’s too, but people stole most of them.

A bit of a random question… But it reminded me of this one day I went to the library and had a bad experience. I wrote about it in my LJ..
"I got a ride to the Stanton Library in North Sydney to get some books on good old Yasser Arafat for my Modern Assessment (due Monday, joy, why I’m writing an LJ now, I’ll never know..) When I had another encounter with an annoying librarian while getting my books. I decided to write what she/I said and what was really (haha) going on inside our heads. Boy am I lame..
***
Me: "Can I get these 6 books on a single card?"
Librarian: "You can get up to 30 books on a card." // "I’m a old, bitter, sarcastic lady, you can take half the f*cking library for all I care."
Me: "Oh.. Right. Can I have these then?"
Librarian: *looks at the spines* "Hmmmm. No." // "HAH! But I am the almighty librarian and I have the power to make your literary life HELL!"
Me: "Why not?!" // "Are you SENILE?"
Librarian: "Because they’re from the same section in the library. You can only get 4 from the same section." // "Because I am EVIL. And I hate you." *smug grin*
Me: "Could I get the other 2 on my other card?" // "Well that’s f*cking pointless! I’m not some insane erratic reader, my assessment is on ONE subject, you BAT"
Librarian: "No, it’s per family." // "NO LOOPHOLES!" *shanks*
Me: "Ugh.. I really need the other two.." // "I’m not letting some hag make my assessment halfassed. I’ve come all the way down to your stale library, can I at LEAST have 2 more books that I will bring back on Monday?? GOSH!"
Librarian: *stares* // "..Your point?"
Me: "..Uhh.. I’ll just write the names down so I can get them tomorrow or something when I return these. Do you have a pen?"
Librarian: "I’m using this one." // "Sorry, I’m a b*tch."
Me: *is getting VERY pissed off* "Well, I’ll write them down on my phone then.. *starts typing*
Librarian: "Is that phone on silent?" // "Another opportunity to crush her! Excellent!"
Me: "Yes!" // "No, but even if it was, I’d turn it on LOUD to spite you, WENCH!"
Librarian: "Can you at least tell me what 4 you want now?" // "I’m not only a b*tch, but I’m impatient too."
Me: "Well, I need ALL of them for my assessment for school, so I really have no idea.." *takes sweet ass time choosing to spite her and then puts books on the desk*
Librarian: "Could you put those other two back? I’m very busy." // "I’m not only a impatient b*tch, but I’m too lazy to walk out from behind this desk after you’ve left to carelessly chuck 2 books in the sorting bins for my subordinate underling minions to put back after I’m finished yelling at them too."
Me: "Must I just put them back in the section they came from?" // "I know perfectly well where they came from, and I can tell you one thing, it’s not going to be funny for you when you find these books in the cooking section in 50 years because you’ll most likely stay working in this place because it gives you kicks to annoy people on a daily basis.. Damn it, if I can’t borrow these no one can!"
Librarian: *SIGH* "What numbers are on the back?" // "I know what these numbers are already, but wasting your time gives me such demonic pleasure.."
Me: "956.46 and 956.47" // "F*cking. Whore."
Librarian: "Well, you should have checked harder, they’re at different decimal points, so you can get those two after all." // "MUAHAH! AREN’T I A CLEVER DEVIL!"
Me: "I thought you said it had to be what SECTION in the library they were from!" // "Ohhhhh YOU DIDN’T"
Librarian: *scans them* "No, it’s from each specific number. They’re all 956 books but you should have read the points.. Now look how much time you’ve wasted!" // "I win, I win! I am the most evil of them all!"
Me: *glares and takes books* Goodbye. // "Just you wait. I will write in these books. WITH PEN."

It was the public library in my hometown. I haven’t been there in years. It has a triple storey parking complex beside it. It’s two levels with a spiral staircase and lifts. It has computers, reference section, youth space, internet facilities, toilets, movies, magazines, children’s area, presentation rooms and a reading club for kids. I went there for the obvious reason – to return or borrow books.

Ohio State University Science and Engineering Library, the ultimate all-nighter spot for all students who aspire to geekdom. Just came back from there, I go there when I need to focus on work that demands intense cognitive efforts, as the atmosphere always seems to boost my thinking abilities!

Well, I worked in a library in San Diego for five years while I was attending college. It was an old fashioned library by today’s standards (card catalogues, microfiche) it was a public library. It had a section where you could rent videos. It had a special children’s section upstairs. ( I would tell stories to little children- it was called, "Wee Wiggler’s" ( I’m serious!) Well, I went there because I worked there. I wanted to finish my English degree (which I did) and go on to earn a Master’s degree in Library Science to become a reference librarian. But now, it’s called, "Information Science" and with the advent of the Internet, unfortunately I don’t think many people visit libraries (or even read books for that matter) as much as they did back in 1980.

ok hmm that is a funny question lol
i’ve been to a local public library, located practically right next to the main shops in our area.
it has shelves, quite a fair bit of computers & they recently updated them to new improved computers.
there are also about 5-7 computers placed around the library so people can search for their book/dvd/magazine etc.
there is lots of couches around, study tables, a soup/coffee machine that costs about $1.30 AUD. There is also one big plasma or lcd hanging off the wall in the young adult area, that has news or whateva they decide to put on 4 the day.
I went there to go on the net, as our broadband at home exceeded the limit and was going extra slow, and also to borrow a couple of music albums, and a book or 2 also.
lol i hope that helped with whateva ur doing. =]
oh, and theres a picture of the library down the middle.
