Books don't hold all the answers

Freeing college students of the written word can create excitement and panic

Since I was a child I've loved libraries. There was something about the quiet solitude of row after row of books and the unique smell of paper and ink that made me feel at ease. I guess you could say I'm a bit obsessed with books and the written word.

When I was in university, few of my classmates shared my obsession. More often than not their minds were obsessed with other things. Believe me, the only time there was a crowded Friday at the university library was during finals.
