The website can be a bit confusing, but the staff are consistently kind and helpful. The option to…read morereserve books online and pick them up in person is especially convenient. Overall, it's a great place to study, and having a Starbucks on-site is a nice bonus. It would earn a higher rating if not for the limited weekend hours: the library closes at 7:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, which can be frustrating when you're working on a major project or preparing for an exam.

Dear Pattee/Paterno: Your new website is the worst. It never works, the search engine is useless,…read moreyou have buried the links to electronic journal articles (what if I don't WANT to search "ProQuest?!) and counter-intuitively shrunk the size of the "My Account" link so that I inevitably cannot find it every time I'm on your site. I also can't get my GoogleScholar to sync back up with your atrotious and useless design. Did I mention you hardly ever work? The last five or six times I tried to look something up you were down; after it finally came back up you told me I was a "blocked user" so that I couldn't proceed any further than before. There is also this one REALLY MEAN girl who works at the check-out desk. Look, I love libraries, I really do. I actually USE the library quite frequently unlike a majority of my students who don't even know where it is. But you have to get rid of that miserable woman, she doesn't even look you in the face when you walk up to the desk. Last, your hours SUCK! Never in my life have I gone to a University with SUCKY hours! And I've been enrolled in far crappier schools; if you wonder why Penn State has a drinking problem, maybe it's because you've created a climate where no one is able to study where they need after 9pm on a damn weekend. Maybe I need to check out books after midnight?

Drove up to Philipsburg PA to leaf peep on the recommendation of a nice drive. This is the right…read moremoment to see colors change up at a higher altitude. My ears popped as I drove up the mountain, and once I reached the top, I knew this view was worth it. Beautiful rolling hills and valleys with the sun about to set. I hadn't looked up places to eat or things to do, so I just wandered around town. Stumbled upon the John Henry Simler House close to the center. As the oldest standing structure, it looks pretty well maintained. It was locked up, but you can see the Old fashioned furnishings through the windows. A small bedroom & a well adorned kitchen. What a neat little spot. The original tiny house! There's a butterfly garden in the back and a brand new outhouse. Honestly I wouldn't mind living here. A cute chunk of land and not much square footage to clean. After walking around for a short bit, I realized most places were closed already. I couldn't find much else to do so I got back in the car And headed out of town. I pulled into a park that had a damn and a lake. Watched the geese, some dogs playing, and a wedding photo shoot. Left with good vibes.

Friendly, clean, fast, and easy. Compared to the downtown post office, I will go out of my way to…read morecome here. Staff are super friendly in a classic small town way.

The assistance ranged from completely cheery and competent and kind and efficient, to surley, hiding behind made up rules bordering on confrantational, and frankly, somewhat provincial behavior. Could have been better. the first part of the interaction is why I root for USPS, the second half is why the public sometimes do not support them. It would have been so easy to have been nice. But I was alas not from Lamont; I think that mattered too much to them. They are not a LPS (lemont postal service), but a US postal service. Not that this will influence their evaluation, it might help you, and reminder to self, if you are trying to avoid the large, too busy but on point post office in State College, try the one in Boalsburg, where I've had better luck.
