    have literally never seen someone take a book off the shelf and read it here god bless…read more quiet enough, the location isn't great since it's far from a lot of the campus and up a terrible hill

    I made a special trip out to this library to get my hands on a rare Southern cookbook…read more I really wanted to buy the book but it's out of print and hard to find. It wasn't available on Amazon or eBay but it did show up in online library catalogs. The UGA Main Library was the only one in the state of Georgia with a copy so it was totally worth the drive to Athens. I called ahead of time so that one of the librarians could pull the book and put it on hold for me. When I got there it was waiting for me at the circulation and reserve desk. Since I didn't have a student ID I imagined I might have to undergo an iris scan and cavity search before they would let me handle it. Instead, they just took a quick peep at my driver's license and passed it right over. Cue the kid in a candy store glee on my face! The librarian directed me a few yards away to the computer lab and their flatbed scanner. I was able to send high quality, color images of the book straight to my USB drive for free. Making digital copies was ideal since each print copy would have run 9 cents for black & white and 50 cents for color. Based on my experience, the UGA Library is a great resource not just for students but for visitors too. The staff is helpful, the facilities are modern and their resources are available to students and the public alike. Finding the rare book I needed in their collection made my weekend.
