Koerner Library

Walter C. Koerner Library is a place that I like to visit. It is situated inside the University of British Columbia (卑詩大學) and is one of the biggest libraries on campus .The building is quite new, probably less then ten years old. Because its outside walls are mostly glass, students can enjoy a garden view while reading books inside. All the university libraries here in Vancouver are open to members of the public, a practice that is totally different from that in Hong Kong. There are no security guards sitting at the doors to check your identity. Local people could also borrow books here if they buy some kind of a 'pass' on a monthly basis. In summer the campus is quiet because most students are on summer vacation. You can only see some tourists laughing, talking and taking photographs at the entrance of the Library. For those who would like to visit this library during the summer, here is the opening hour: Mon-Thur 9 am- 9 pm, Friday 9 am-5 pm, Saturday 10 am - 5 pm.
