Sometimes you just need a change of pace. The University Libraries have great study spaces across five campus libraries, so pick the room with the the view (that you like).
Looking for extinct megafauna?
Dinosaurs, giant crystals and a great Map Collection are all on offer at the Earth Sciences & Map Library. Quiet study is the order of business, but this library is a feast for your eyes. Need access to the GeoLibrary, ask for help at our service desk or meet with a librarian.
I don't need any distractions...
Sleek, modern and minimalist, the Business Library is the place to go when you need to focus. There aren't many distractions, but you can share a space with a friend, if you need to. The tables have outlets to plug in your laptop and the cushioned seat is a perfect balance of comfort and practicality for those longer study sessions. Have a question? The library service desk is just a step away or meet with a librarian. The Gravity Cafe is also nearby for a quick caffeine fix.
Let's get visual
Bright and colorful, the Music Library is where you'll land if you want a warm, soft and vibrant study space. Get comfortable in the ample soft seating or get inspiration from the listening station. The service desk is closeby for support or you can schedule an appointment with an expert librarian.
Is it too much to call it the next best thing to the Louvre?
Norlin Commons has a lot of great art exhibits to inspire your study session. Coming soon, Transcend: Transgender Voices. You can also grab a quick pick-me-up at the Laughing Goat Coffeehouse. If you need help with your paper, the Writing Center is nearby, or you can pop upstairs to the Ask a Librarian desk.
Visit space on a budget...
We know that a trip to orbit can cost $55 million, so we wanted to give you a cheaper option. Check out Gemmill Library's space tourism posters, for free! Make use of the big collaborative tables to work in groups, or go downstairs for some serious silence. Need help finding databases or other course materials? Check out our service desk or schedule an appointment with an expert librarian. And if you need to escape the noise, head downstairs to the silent study area.
True facade stan, here.
Norlin is majestic, we know. It is hard to beat the view of the fishbowl (2nd floor study area) for sheer architectural moxy. And this space is very close to our Ask a Librarian desk with expert librarians to help you find the books and articles you need for your assignments. Take advantage of the wide tables to study with friends, and take a look at that facade. Whew.
