I can't believe my sister has lived in Okemos for so long and never took me here before. If you want a glimpse as to what 19th century life was like in the Lansing area, then you need to come here and explore. It's open for tours by appointment only on Saturdays, but you can walk the grounds any day of the week. Here is a sampling of what you'll find: A Greek Revival-style farmhouse built between 1862-5. They know this because as historians were removing wallpaper they discovered newspapers that were used as insulation dated from those years. The farmhouse was relocated here from Marsh Road. Randall School, a one-room rural schoolhouse relocated from near Fowlerville. It cost $853.15 to build in 1883 and served 1st-8th graders. The Barnes House (1849), was the first frame house built in Okemos not using logs. The general store, and the log cabin from Haslett are both cool as well. My favorite thing to see though was the Tollgate House and the parts of the original wood planks from the toll road which travelers from Detroit took to get to the State Capitol in Lansing. A penny to cross is pretty damn cheap compared to the toll roads we drive these days! If you are in the area this is a great piece of Michigan history you don't want to pass by.

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.

This location itself does not have much of anything, but they can get things from other locations of library network. New release movies take a while to get them. Once you reserve it, you don't lose your place in queue. They email pickup notice. Copy is 15 cents per page. Coin operated. Scanner is available. You have to rent one from info desk and hook it up on computers within library. Small scanner, so you have to scan one page each time. Plenty of parking. People working there are very friendly and courteous. They are some dubious grown-ups playing games at computer station all day long. I never had anyone bothering me. So, no problem. There is a uniformed security guard on duty.

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.
