Students were asked,

"How did we help you in the library today?"



Floor 2



“They are very helpful every time I come to the library. I always get great service.”

Quiet area, floor 3



iPads & Study Rooms floor 3

“My home life is crazy and does not allow time for study, so the library is a place to come and focus and get my work done. I have a helpful staff to help me with any questions.”





General Collection floor 3

 “The library is probably the most useful tool in my life. It is where I think, work, and occasionally relax.”

“The library represents an important asset for me because it has all I need to study for my classes. It provides a comfortable environment; it has plenty of seats available, Wi-Fi, and it also lets me take copies of a variety of texts.”
