A really calm and useful place, for studying and researching. there are a lot of rooms for group studying and researching. also some simple kiosks for personal studying on the third floor, and a quiet salon also on the third floor.

The printers absolutely suck. It's literally mission impossible and none of the library staff even know how to work it.

Tbh, my campus’ library is more attractive than this library, but it was worth to visit

I am community member from the town, not a student. I applied for UGA main library membership as a guest. That part of the process is a little tricky. Although once I got my membership, my experience has been amazing with this library. Infinite content available, facilities are great. I envision this to be a monthly family activity once my kids grow up. Kudos to the student staff members, too dedicated:) !!

UGA's library is phenomenal, and one of the best features of the university. It houses over four million titles spread across eight floors, and contains a plethora of ideal study spaces. Don’t be like many students who rarely set foot in here - find a cozy chair, curl up with a book, and leave the stresses of college behind. You'll be glad you did!

Honestly my favorite building on campus. Each floor seems to have its own unique aspect to it. The 3rd floor has a digital lab and a fancy room with an orangeish theme. The 4th floor has a place where you can write on almost all the walls with either chalk or expo. Also, the ceiling is at a height of about 7 feet so it has a cozy feel to it. The 5th and 6th floors have study rooms that, to me, feel like prison cells [¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess there are people that like them] The 7th floor has a really nice view and group study rooms

Spent time here in high school and in college for research, job search and tax filing purposes. Has public computers, phone charging, a cafeteria and study spaces on the first floor, but only two computers are available, and they are never free. Near shops, restaurants and several transit lines.

Love the library, such a wonderful collection of books and journals. The media library in the basement is also a great resource, don't miss out on some great classic movies!

The library had public computers that the communication with can use. Plus if you have a local library card, you can check out a limited amount if booms from the uga. Library. Cool
