Further, the librarians themselves don't seem to follow the quiet rules. One was chatting loudly in a study room with the door open that was attached to the quiet area. Do not come here if you prefer a quiet library- try Okemos instead. I left before I finished my work because it was so bothersome.

The ELPL is a separate entity and not part of the Capital Area District Library. While a Lansing…read morelibrary card will work in Okemos and so on, it won't in East Lansing. When I first experienced this, I was definitely ticked but it ensures that all the patrons are East Lansing residents. But you don't have to be a resident to browse (public library, duh) or use the free Internet. The books on sale are dirt cheap and, surprisingly, are a decent selection.

Good for books, not so much for studying/laptop work…read more First the good: Excellent outlet access. All tables had four outlets to plug electronics into. But what are these, tables for ants? The tables are short. Like short short. Or perhaps the chairs are too high. Either way, for a girl 5'3'', with an average-sized torso, I felt like a giant sitting at the table. And it made working on the computer uncomfortable, as I had to hunch over. Otherwise, it's a pretty standard library. Not too many windows, though, and most seating is out in open, which, if you prefer, that's great. I prefer a little more seclusion in my libraries, with views of the outdoors.

A part of my soul remains forever trapped inside this building. This place and the Engineering…read moreBuilding were my 2nd and 3rd homes while at MSU. The MSU main library has everything you need for research and study. It contains the vast majority of the University's library collection. It also has tons of study locations from loud to quiet, comfy or torturous. The Sparty's cafe stays open late, and open 24 hours during finals. The computers here stink. MSU computers take FOREVER to log in. I have no idea why. There always seems to be a large amount that are not functioning properly. Compared to those available for Engineering students in the Engineering Building, they're flat out awful. The place is over 50 years old and it's really starting to show in some areas. Regardless, they keep it in pretty good shape and it serves its purpose well. As with all university libraries, they need to keep transitioning from being a place for research to a place to study. Hardly anyone goes to the library anymore to search for a book they need. The stacks should be condensed to free up more space for study nooks. They also need to put more electrical outlets in to account for the fact that everyone has a computer now. Piece of advice: Bring a power strip and extension cord with you if the Library is busy. This way you can make a table far from an outlet work and make an outlet that someone else was already using help out multiple people.

I just love the Holt library! It has a MASSIVE selection of books, the librarians are always…read morehelpful and friendly, and there are plenty of activities. I'm particularly fond of the CADL website, where you can choose a book, put it on hold and then have it sent to the library of your choice and pick it up when it's in. Awesome! My one complaint is that the children's room is not particularly large, and it often gets VERY crowded during story times. A door would be nice, too, as it's not unusual for kids (okay, MY kids) to try to wander out into the main library.

It's so refreshing to finally have an institution in our town that supports the real science and…read morehistory impacting our lives today. So much white privilege is displayed by so many people who carelessly disregard the racist history of science and learning. Medical programs from experimentation on slave ships to the Tuskegee Study show us just how racist medicine, including modern medicine, is. That is why I am so proud to have an institution like the DeWitt District Library which embraces policies to reflect this dark past. Whereas everyone else is simply pretending just because they are vaccinated, they safe, and returning to "normal" life, DDL knows there is no more normal, that vaccines are highly suspect, and the only choice to remain safe is 24/7 masking, plastic barricades, etc. What I don't understand though is why they aren't disinfecting the library materials...using the library is one degree away from shaking hands with everyone else who goes there and demonstrates a clear danger that DDL is simply disregarding. If they are serious about equitable safety, they need to address this immediately. That being said, I am also pumped about how prominently DDL has embraced Critical Race Theory, proudly displaying a wide variety of CRT books for DeWitt to embrace. Anyone who has spent any time around this town, especially the schools, knows how deep racism runs. I, for one, agree with DDL and think it's important to teach kids as early as possible. Ensuring DeWitt's children, who - of course - frequently the library, immediately know their own implicit racism is the only way DeWitt is going to be able to heal from the racist past it blindly enjoys.
