Library session............ I'll be honest with you. I didn't go. In the past 3 years at Mount A, and indeed in my entire education history, I have been required to go to far to many library sessions. I just don't find them useful at all and they are really just so so so so so boring. If you are in your third or fourth year of university and you still don't know how to use a library, well then in all honesty you should probably just go home now. At least if you are in a B.A. program. When I think of going to another never ending library lecture all I can think of is how I wish I could pull a Guy Laramee and destroy all the books by turning them into something much MUCH more exciting.
As a statement on his website, Laramee says:

"“Our love for mountains will heal us”. Heal us of what? Of over thinking? Of our obsession with knowledge? Of greed? In fact it doesn’t matter. When you recover health, the only thing you can say is “sickness is over”. Health is like love. Try to describe it and you’re out of it. "

I don't know what it is about mountains, but I do know that every fiber of my being agrees with the first statement... being from British Columbia, every time I go home from the very flat maritime's and see the mountains I honestly just feel one hundred and thirty percent better, like they just filled a hole that had been missing.

That would be a way better library to have a class at! Just saying..
