The Trades Technology Campus (TTC) library focuses on nonfiction books more dedicated to facts rather than fiction, leaving TTC students forced to go to the Liberal Arts Campus (LAC) for a variety of media.
While these books are related to a lot of the subjects that TTC teaches, LAC provides books that are not strictly dedicated to the subjects being taught.
When entering the TTC campus library, it is very clear that the building has a much different layout in comparison to the LAC campus.
While the computer lab is organized and helpful in resources, the variety of books on the shelves is extremely limited.
Many of the shelves in the back remain empty, lacking books or any sort of media that would be expected in a functioning library.
The working space is limited, but still decent.
It’s an extremely compact space that seems to always be empty.
When going through the books that are present, it’s clear that not much effort was put into the choices of media.
Students who enjoy reading shouldn’t have to go to the LAC campus for entertaining books.
It’s unfair to the students who do not attend the LAC campus to have such a limited amount of resources in their library.
This issue could be fixed if more focus were put on the TTC library.
Expanding the size of the TTC library would also be beneficial.
Having a bigger space would encourage having a more functional library and a place to work.
Filling the empty shelves with a variety of books, rather than just informational literature, would greatly help this library visually, as well as the students who use it to work.
