Yıllardan beri bu kütüphanede ders çalışırım. Ama kışın çok soğuk oluyor ve buna çözüm getirmeleri lazım artık. Ayrıca bahçesindeki büfeyi kapatmışlar, hiç iyi olmamış orada saatlerce ders çalışanlar için. Eskiden çorba da veriyorlardı ama şuan veriyorlar mı bilmiyorum. Eski, o kalabalık samimi ortam yok artık maalesef :(
