Even with a world of information, resources, and entertainment, there’s nothing quite like paying a visit to your local public library and reading an actual book instead of staring into the glow of a tablet or a monitor.At the very least, the Vancouver Public Library website contains a wealth of knowledge for those looking for a leisurely read or even a more serious dive into literature. However, for those looking for more than just looking up or reserving books, the Vancouver Library website boasts an amazing hub of information.Of course, the website does all the things a library website is expected to do, including (but not limited to):

Put holds on new incoming books

Search the massive catalogues for specific books, audiobooks, DVDs, and other resources

Access ebooks, newspapers, and other online resources

Check library contact information and hours of operation

Check upcoming events and room rental information
However, this is nothing new. Every modern library in the world has these functions, but where the Vancouver Public Library shines is in a special section of their website called Readers’ Café. This café is definitely the most interesting corner of the library website by far. The special section is an incredible online resource to help people find almost anything they need in terms of library-related information.1. What Do I Read Next?The top recommendations of library staff for various genres are listed out with book covers, short reviews, and all the ISBN information you need to grab a copy hot off the shelves.Once you’ve exhausted these, you find more detailed recommendations based on authors, genres, and titles you already enjoy. For example, if you like famous Vancouver author Douglas Coupland, the Readers’ Café helpfully suggests over a dozen different authors that you might be a fan of. Likewise, fans of specific books or genres can also find customized recommendations for their next reading project.If you want to see a list of book recommendations with specific themes, booklists are your best friend. For example, a popular horror booklist is “Everyday Horror: When The Mundane Becomes Monstrous”, where all the stories are terrifying and relatable in our everyday lives.2. A Sense Of CommunityIf you’re looking for a sense of community with fellow book lovers, the Readers’ Café also has a massive listing of book clubs for hundreds of different books and authors.Book clubs are a gathering of people who regularly meet up (either online or in person) to discuss their opinions about a certain book or series of books.Joining a book club is completely free, but registration is required. Book clubs are generally based around subject, geographic location, and skill level. The list of new book clubs frequently update, so be sure to keep an eye for anything that catches your interest.3. Catch The Latest NewsThe reader’s cafe has detailed news stories relating to specific genres. Want to see what’s new in the world of fantasy? What about suspense or romance? Each and every genre has a feed for all the latest stories and information happening in the news. This also includes information on all the latest literary awards like the James Tiptree Jr. Award and the Locus Awards.We recommend using the café as a way to identify the next book you want to read and keeping up-to-date on the latest literary trends. Of course, after you’ve used all the features of the Reader’s Café, you still need to physically go to the library to find the book you want. Take some time out of your busy schedule this week to visit your local library! You may just learn something new.

One of the best things to remember about attending an online school is convenience. You will have so many great advantages at your disposal. As long as you learn to use them wisely then your online school experience will be an enriching journey of self discovery and self improvement.The traditional classroom scenario can be quite intimidating to many students for many different reasons. Often times the professor will have an accent to his/her way of speaking. This hint towards some far away land they once called home can add much welcomed interest and diversity. However to some students it will impose confusion and misunderstanding that can complicate an already trying experience. With the convenience of the online classroom you now have the ability to work, study, and learn all at your own pace. That’s not to say that there won’t be any deadlines on papers or tests, because there will be. But the ability to take notes, check references, cross reference online, check in with other students and then get right back to what the professor is professing will prove invaluable.When you are preparing for your online school of choice make sure that you aren’t caught off guard. Just because your class is online it doesn’t mean that the material will necessarily all be contained online. Make certain that you have all supplies necessary for your classes including all of the traditional study material: pens, pencils, paper, folders, and school books. That’s right. Although you may be able to get by without using some of these traditional materials for study, most will find them helpful.When reading material it is very handy to be able to scribble down notes on paper. Later if you wish to organize your notes and type them out I guarantee that it will aid in your ability to remember the subject matter. If you do need to purchase actual physical text books for the online course don’t wait until the last minute! Two of the reasons for your decision to take classes online are probably that you have access to a computer and that you would like to save a little money. So take advantage of that and order your specific (exact) textbooks using the internet. In almost all cases the necessary material can be purchased used and in good condition through online sources such as Amazon.com.Even with all that you will have going for you, all the online cards stacked in your favor, you still need to study. This is still a college degree you are working towards after all. Don’t dismiss this as simple, easy or undeserving of your full attention. When it’s time for class… it’s time for class! When it’s time to study… it’s time to study! Take care to ensure that the area around your computer is ready to deliver the proper learning environment. If there are other people in the house make sure that they realize that what you are doing is very important and requires your undivided attention. Close yourself off, quiet the background noises and set your surroundings to invoke your ability to absorb information. This is your time. Prepare for it and use it wisely.After your class is over I assure you that study time is in order. If quiet solitary study is the way you work best then you’ve obviously chosen the right type of school setting. If group study is more your game then you’re in luck as well. All accredited schools will have access to some type of student interaction available. This class is not a t.v. show; it’s a classroom online. Dialog and interaction are the “norm” they are expected. Get familiar with the help desk, student help centers, forums, blogs, chatrooms, etc. Seek out all information and assistance available to you. Don’t be shy. Ask questions! Learn all that you can! That’s why you’re here!
