There was only one staff member working, and when he called for reinforcements, no one came for another 10 minutes. There were only three people ahead of me in line plus one person already at the counter. Slow as molasses! The one positive was that the staff were friendly and apologized for the wait.

I come here to study sometimes. There are lots of different areas in the library to fit your…read morestudying mood: - big, sturdy, wide wooden tables on the first floor of Perkins for those who need to see other people studying in order to study - cozy armchairs spread throughout the library for those who want to comfortable read papers or books - a deathly silent, no-food zone closed off with glass doors on one of the upper floors for those who hate when others are munching on crunchy chips - The Perk, a mini cafe connected to the library - the Link, with plenty of interactive study rooms and areas on the ground floor You don't need a student ID to get in, which is both good and bad. The bad is that laptops seem to have a tendency to run away if you leave them alone. The good is that you don't have to mentally hit your head against the wall if you somehow forgot to bring your student ID. Other downsides include: not a 24/7 library, no nearby parking, and it gets very, very crowded around exam weeks. Otherwise, great WiFi with plenty of conveniently situated outlets, plus you can bring in food (just clean up after yourself), and obviously a great place to get work done.

What's not to love about Perkins? Poor mobile service in the Link (and zero service for T-mobile…read moreeverywhere, but that's not Duke's fault), but that's it. I love Perkins, and I'm stunned that there are no reviews for it. As a former Duke student who forgot her alumni card at home, I learned what it meant to be a guest of the library. Perkins is public, which means that anyone can walk in during its normal hours WITHOUT a Dukecard. All guests can go to the circulation desk to request an hour of computer access on any of the computers on the first floor with red tape across the top of the monitor. This is only valid once a day, and requires photo ID. (Alums, on the other hand, can use ALL computers with unlimited access ... if they have their IDs. Whoops). The different floors and rooms have varying environments to suit your study needs - the Gothic Reading Room or Carpenter Reading Room if you want an old-school, classic feel, or purple ergonomic reclining chairs and floor-to-ceiling dry-erase boards in the Link for modern and high-tech. The first-fourth floors all have normal large tables to study on and bookshelves around you to remind you that you're in a library. There are private cubicles and desks for dual screen access, and study rooms of varying sizes. Perkins, I miss you tremendously now that I've graduated. Really, you don't know what you have til you're gone :(

I love the high ceilings and large windows. The single-person cubicles are my favoriteread more
