After the seminar in the afternoon, I went to the Free Public library, the first for me to be in a library in New Haven and Yale, though I love libraries and have been planning and expecting to be with them a lot.

Just as at the art gallery, I was startled, not by the collections, but by people reading there. You know there are not so many libraries for us and most our people seldom go to any one all their life. At the fewer libraries are usually educated people(or so-called intellectuals) who are there to search information for their researches and papers. But I saw many who seemingly are not so well-educated, just like from the lower class. Sure this is just my supposition, I may be totally wrong, but I felt that.

I borrowed three new novels there, which I don’t know whether I have enough time to go through, for there is too much for me to explore and experience.

It is said there are 22 libraries in yale. The following are some of them, I don’t think I can set my feet on all of them.
