The library has a security officer that keeps the over talkative from yapping too loud and will open the locked bathroom for your use.

First time I've been to a library that requires you to check in with the police department. I had…read moreto get back in my car drive a few blocks away to the police department which was only labeled by the police cars in the lot. For the new welcoming place for all parking permits it's remarkably unlabeled and not easy to find. Don't go to the main doors of the building go down to what seems to be a lower level area to find the police department. Also write down your license plate number yo save yourself a trip back to your car. I love that everyone just kept saying sorry new rules. Library visits require a visit to the police station. Someone call the firemen.

So I decided to create a page for the library so I can check in HAHA!…read more But really though, this is my home away from home. Since freshman year I have been in here on the regular. It has been a place full of extreme joy, hanging out with friends and just socializing when I should be doing work and a place of great worry and distress come exam time. What is nice about this library is that there is a multitude of different areas that have different atmospheres that may or may not be conducive to studying. Pretty much on the first floor you got the computer lab area, with tons of available computers to do work on. My only experience with these is when I was taking Statistics and had to do "math lab" crap or for Comp 25 and had to make my own website. You can access your files easily enough but what always pissed me off is that I could never install software like dropbox or other useful programs like that. Be cautious, it can get loud over here. Another area, I affectionately call, the "Stinky Room" is located upstairs on the SW corner. I don't what is up with it, but for reals it smells like doodoo 24/7. I think they may have finally gotten it fixed but I remember having to cover my nose walking by that area. It has some nice cubicles if you get distracted from people walking by. All of them are etched up by the frats and misc people. I try to avoid this area unless necessary cause its right next to some bathrooms and the stench can leak out... My office, aka home away from home, is the tables on the second floor along the south wall. It features 6, count em, 6 long tables, easily accommodating 4 people each with power jacks and ethernet connections for everyone! With the big windows nearby it isn't as depressing being inside cause you can see all of nature outside the window, especially when you are spending 10+ hours since I'm in the pharmacy program. It can get loud over here but this is 1st come spot cause this is where all my friends are at. If you need a place to discuss something or do some tutoring I would recommend the downstairs tables right near the entrance. This is an area dedicated to talking. Now there is a lounge on the second floor with some comfy chairs and tables and it is good for some light discussions or group projects but more frequently it is infested with a certain loud-ass group of people *ahem* that got nothing to study and just chat it up, ruining everyone's concentration. Be mindful of other people if you decide to sit here. There are also study rooms that can be reserved in blocks of 2 hours. Just a note about these, they may be closed off with a glass wall, but we hear you in there... every word. These rooms are not sound proof, so if you plan on gossiping about something, it won't be a secret for much longer. That's all I can think of this place. There is a lot more I can write but if you go to the school you pick up on these things. For reals though, when I go off on rotations and eventually graduate, I am going to miss this place in an odd way. I have had weeks in which I have logged in 70 hours in a 7 day period, done all-nighters when open 24 hours, made many cool friends and sparked a few love interests. Club L (trademarked by me) is where it is at!

This is actually a pretty nice library for the small population of Ripon. The library itself smells…read morelike history when you first walk in. It is clean and organized well. There is a specific children's area in the corner which is spaced nicely from the areas adults would sit down to read. The library also offers computers with internet access and the ability to print. They also have a small section of movies to rent. If you need a quiet area they have two study rooms equipped with tables large for six persons. The center of the library also has an information area that an employee staffs if you have any questions. There are a lot of negative reviews centered around the front counter employees. Most of these reviews are dated. My dealings with employees have been pleasant. If you don't feel like conversing with the employees, they do offer a self check out machine. If you are looking for reading material, you are sure to find something here.

When I asked to use the printer she began to question me: "What are you printing? Do you have a library card? Well we turned off the computers 15 minutes ago and we close in 4 minutes." I then said "oh I thought you closed at 6 PM". She then responded with, "No we close at 5 PM." Either way, I still had 20 minutes to print, pay, and leave with my document. I just really wish she could have helped me anyway and turned on a computer for me.

I found multiple open tables on that Wednesday afternoon. It wasn't a completely silent area, but it wasn't loud enough to distract me from working. There were outlets on the table, and the Wi-fi was pretty fast and reliable! There's plenty of parking in their designated parking lot. The restrooms were pretty clean and are located near the front when you enter the building. If I ever need to be in the area again, this would be my go-to study/work spot!
