The tiers are perfect for studying (quiet ) in winter (warm). Can't have food there, though; but covered drinks are fine.

The Periodical Room is a great place to read and study in quiet . Plus, there is a large amount of natural lighting !

Check out the archives on the fourth flour! There's a ton of crazy interesting information about anything to do with ISU!

Voted best place to people watch and best place to nap on campus in the Iowa State Daily's 2012 Student Choice Awards.

Avoid library during dead and finals week. It gets super packed. If you must then stick w/ basement , 1st,2nd floor. 3rd and 4th will be full

Tony Thonesavanh

The library should be reserved for people who actually study throughout the semester as opposed to 'finals only' studiers.

Anthony Davis

If special collections is open its the perfect place for some quiet studying.

The library is for being quiet to study. If people around you are mostly quiet , you should do the same.

If you listen to music , please use headphones. It's extremely disrespectful not to.
