I frequent the library three or four times a week. I appreciate the self-service book checkout system the most. The library environment helps me focus better compared to home. During exams, the video and audio resources in the library have been extremely beneficial. One memorable experience was participating in an event called Spielzeit, where I enjoyed playing games with friends.
