——Reader’s message

(Department of Precision Instruments

undergraduate)

The library is such a place —— serving

readers as much as possible without

expecting any reward; everyone coming

here will quiet down consciously. In this

fickle environment, it’s a little fragment

fallen down from the paradise to the

would.
