When Forsyth Library staff are out and about or networking with community members, parents, and FHSU alumni, we occasionally get the question: “Do students still use the library?”
The short answer is, yes.
This video is proof:
This video wasn’t planned. It organically stemmed from a larger video project led by FHSU University Marketing to promote specific academic programs by interviewing FHSU students about their experiences. The videographers asked the same set of questions to each student, and to their surprise, when asked about their favorite place on campus, nearly every interview sounded the same. The common response: “the library.”
When University Marketing mentioned the “library trend” they were seeing in the video project, our ears perked up, and we asked them to compile those responses into a video as a testament to the impact that Forsyth Library has on students.
The library can mean be so many things to a student: the quiet place to study, the trusted resource for information, the helpful staff that guides them through the mire of their first big research project, the technology checkout that saves their paycheck for other things like rent, their place of employment, their place for belonging, and much much more.
This video is a good reminder that the library renovation is for the students. We can’t wait to make their favorite place on campus even better.
What is your favorite place on FHSU’s campus?
