The library is full of tall windows that allow natural bright light in. It also has plenty of big tables with chairs, however I would definitely recommend going earlier in the morning on weekends if you want a guaranteed table as they fill up pretty quickly. However they also have lots of couches with side tables that I sometimes use as a desk when tables aren't available (sometimes I prefer that since I am a comfy studier). At the entrance, they have a small coffee shop that I have yet to try. On the sides, they have a few conference/group rooms (which tend to be booked anytime I go) and downstairs, they have additional tables. They also have ample parking near the upper and lower entrances.

Though you don't need a secret password or a retinal scan to study here, it almost seems like it. I…read morehad to especially jump through some hoops when I wanted to research some journals in their Rare Books archived collection. I was a grad student at a different university -- so using the library required some form-filling. You have to lock your backpack away in a separate room and can only take pencil (no pens!), paper, and a laptop with you into the study room. My journals were old and stiff, so they gave me special paperweights (they don't look so 'special' -- more like felt blocks) to weigh them down with. Luckily, my materials weren't so old that I had to be supervised while reading them or use 'special' tweezers to turn the pages. If you take a moment to soak up the room, you can't help but be awed (I'm an admitted book geek, but still...). The room itself is beautiful, but there's also something thrilling about being in the presence of so many rare and ancient tomes locked away in cages. There are also underground archives, and the contents of these unseen rooms hearken a scene from The Historian (or, for you movie-going types, National Treasure). Of course, Wilson has other rooms that are less intimidating! Check out the NC writers section, which is set up like a museum.

Ok, I admit that I've never had need to research any Rare Books here. So I invented an excuse a…read morecouple years ago, just to try it. That's the sort of guy I am. The stories that I'd been told did not disappoint. I was run through so much security I thought I was in a Get Smart parody. For a library! Try it some time, it's a lot of fun. Once you're in there it's a really great place. You'd be amazed the kinds of books they have on file in the Rare Books collection. I about went nuts with stuff from the Sherlock Holmes collection... amazing!

In the grim land of Mordor that is the UNC Campus, Davis Library is Barad-dur, the black tower…read morerising from its center, heart of the dark power that makes the lives of the studious throb with despair and semi-adequate grade point averages. This library is a monster. Eight stories arranged in a labyrinth so fearsome that the Goblin King himself (still played by David Bowie) would decry the very essence of the Dewey Decimal System. If you get lost in here, don't try to find your way out, you'll only make the library more angry. The good part is that there are books. Lots of books. Go ahead and pick a topic, and I'm pretty sure that Davis will have something to say on the subject. Hold on, let me try this... My roommate suggests "sprint genocide," and lo, Davis contains books about sprint genocide. See how that works? Studying in Davis is more an archaeological expedition than an academic exercise. Bring a flashlight, since the lighting here is kind of like a cave in an Indiana Jones movie (not the light that triggers a spear trap, though, thankfully). Also, depending on the day you might have to fight through hordes of chemistry and economics majors to find a place to sit. It's an old place, and it feels old. Trying to use any of the computers in the lobby is just plain silly, so don't try (the Undergrad Library is just right there, how lazy are you, anyway?). The air circulation, acoustics, and lighting scream "teen slasher movie," which can make it hard to concentrate. The best part is that there are tons of isolated spaces where, on slow nights, you can make the naked sex with an academically unmotivated co-ed. And that's worth two stars.

Davis has an ever-expanding collection of library technologies as well. Should be a one-stop shop for all your library needs.

The event was informative and full of book recs from the Penguin Publisher sales team. Flyleaf is legit! I'll be sure to add this location to one of my favorite bookstores in the Chapel Hill area.

It's awesome and we are so lucky to have something like that available. When I was visiting family in GA, my sister was so jealous.

This location...I thought I'd mention that there are two parking lots, one on each side of the building. They are not connected to each other though. If you live in Durham County and especially if you pay taxes, you should definitely utilize the library since you're paying for it! :)

I stumbled on this while looking for things to do in the area while attending a book signing. Being a book lover and author, this was an obvious choice. My friend and I explored the first two floors (we were pressed for time) and were in awe. I wish Charleston had something like this because I would be here every single day working on my next manuscript. There were several rooms, desks, and seating areas for readers and students alike to choose from. The large windows allow for plenty of natural light that offsets the bright interior lights. They have a wide collection of titles and studies! Highly recommend that you check it out. Just remember to be quiet and respectful as students may be present working on their projects.

On the other hand, my son complained about the slow public wi-fi, which is a pretty big negative when you're studying using your laptop. He said it took 10 minutes just to get connected to the wi-fi. But for that, this seems like a nice spot to study if you've got a personal hotspot (or access otherwise to faster Internet). Hopefully, there is faster wi-fi for NC State students.
