However, when one goes around what used to be the World Trade Centre, there is nothing to see, except the wide emptiness.Then, when the eyes have adjusted to what they are looking at, one begins to notice what is around.Suddenly there are the firefighters, the waiting ambulance on the other side of the pit, the police on every corner.

They are all stored on the ground floor. On the second floor, the library offers a wide range of journals, newspapers and periodicals, neatly catalogued in 15 reading-rooms. It is here that we students do reading after class. Frequently you see students knitting eyebrows or blinking eyelids over a difficult problem on hand. Frequently you see boys and girls whispering in each others ears while making gestures with their hands that can only be understood between them. And frequently you see girls on a diet nibbling at some refreshment for lunch. Whatever they may be doing, it is always a vast quietude. It is in the depth of quietude that we drink in knowledge and enrich our minds.What impresses me most is how the library presents itself at night when all the lights aro
