Stepping into the library that day felt like entering a whole new world. I wasn’t expecting much, but the moment I walked into the Reference Room, I was greeted by rows of neatly arranged history textbooks and primary sources from standard seven all the way to standard twelve. It was clear that this place held more than just books it held stories waiting to be uncovered.
The search for history materials took me to the 900 sections. The layout led me through a maze-like pattern, which made it feel like I was on a small expedition. Though the system was organized, it wasn’t exactly straightforward. Thankfully, the librarian was quick to assist, turning confusion into curiosity. I also learned something new along the way reference books are for in-library use only. I had never realized that before.
What
stood out the most during my visit was an almost-forgotten corner filled with
dusty old newspapers and government documents. It seemed like no one had
visited that area in a long time. Yet, to me, it felt like discovering a secret
chamber full of historical gold. That quiet spot became the highlight of my
visit it sparked a deeper interest in exploring history beyond the pages of our
textbooks.
