Years later, I might still remember that small library. It was a winter day when I came to the library. The sunlight was bright but not warm. It was a typical southern winter day, windless but cold.
The winter vacation was crucial for me, and studying in the library could efficiently improve my studies. I stood in front of the door with my backpack. On the board on the door read: "Community Library". I pushed the door open. Behind the service desk sat an old man with gray hair and dark skin, wearing reading glasses. When he saw me, he pushed his glasses up.
"Hello, I live nearby. My home is small and noisy. Can I study here?" I asked. The old man looked me over and nodded. I then moved to a table in the corner. After lunch every day, I would come to the library. Most of the time, it was just the old man and me, and the only sound was the hum（嗡嗡声） of the old air conditioner.
When I felt too cold or tired of reading, I would get up and move around. Gradually, the old man would ask me if I needed hot water. Sometimes he brought me subject-related books. We had brief conversations sometimes. The old man grew up in the countryside and didn't have much education. He worked in a factory when he was young, and after retiring, he came to the community library to work.
Every day, I studied until sunset. When it was about time for the old man to get off work, I would pack up and get ready to leave. He would also stand up and tidy up. After I left, he would close the door, ending his day's work.
One afternoon, I went to the library to return some books. The old man was very happy that day and handed me a book, saying, "I found a book on the far right of the shelf in the corner. I'm sure you'll like it" I nodded, took the book, and thanked him.
