Giving them two stars because of parking…read more They charge for parking which is ridiculous. There's a small free section that fills up quick and the rest of the parking is paid. You have to download an app and everything. At least make it a coin machine. Sad that you have to pay to go to the library. I ended up just turning around and going to another library. It just screams greedy for money. Make the parking for a public library free! Hopefully they change this soon.

You would think the security guard or the workers would say something to maintain the quiet in the library but they don't unfortunately. Maybe, this is a one-off situation but do I really want to test it again or have the patience and time to try again??! I wanted to really like this place and come here to study and work on projects but trying to block out the noise even when I have ear buds on or ear plugs in just does not work. I end up irritable and with sore ears from shoving the buds/plugs deeper into my ears. You might as well go to Starbucks or cafes since the traffic is more or less comparable.

Cons: -Only one level is designated for quiet study. -The women's bathrooms are disgusting esp the 1st level (never cleaned; frequently runs out of all toilet paper, paper towels, and toilet seat covers) -Overpacked during finals week -Trash bins are ALMOST ALWAYS full. Don't know how this library has such good reviews. Because it's the newer library, people constantly flock over here. Personally not a big fan, but when it's not midterms or finals season, it's decent.
