The Elizabeth Huth Coates Library at Trinity University appears to be fairly straightforward and lacks excitement. However, several secrets fill the brick walls of the library.
One of the biggest secrets of the library is the existence of library lockers. These lockers are located on the second and fourth floors. They are tan and reasonably sized. Students with these lockers often fill them with books, notes and the occasional study or nap time blanket. The lockers require a key for entry. The positive aspects of the lockers is that students do not have to carry their books all over campus, it requires them to enter the library, and it provides a relatively secret place to stash odd objects. The negative aspects of the lockers include the noise created when accessing them, forgetting important items in the library after it closes, and potentially leaving a snack that could rot. Students can check out a locker at the circulation desk. The library staff allows the students to choose their preference of the second or the fourth floor. Students are then presented with a key that costs twenty-five dollars if lost. The lockers can only be checked out for the duration of the semester.
Another secret of the library is the study gnome. Students may check the study gnome out at the circulation desk. He is only available for a brief period of time, but he can add a little fun to study time. The study gnome may be used by the lonely, focused students on the first floor or the noisy students of the fourth floor.
Most Trinity Students know that the Special Collections section exists. However, very few taken advantage of this study location. The couches are comfy and regal. The atmosphere of Special Collections is conducive to scholarly pursuits. While there are some limitations on what can writing utensils can be used, Special Collections provides a small, uninhabited study place.
The secrets of the Trinity Library can give students an slight advantage and provide them with a chuckle.
