It's a self sustaining organism. It has everything to keep you going through your day. The staff is very warm and courteous. It has all the books that you could need. You could also request for books from other libraries if they aren't available. It has ample of space for studying alone or even in groups. The Maggie Murph cafe has a really good selection of quickbites as well as coffee.

Amazing place to study and eat! Not sure about purchasing food here, but there’s a cafe where you can buy sandwiches, chips, and coffee. Also there are printers, help desk and massage chairs...

Look, the sooner this building gets torn down the better. In terms of facilities, it's probably the worst library in Pittsburgh: literally every public Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh feels cleaner and more vibrant. In fact, for such a self-congratulatory school, it's remarkably awful. Say, the first floor men's room has only one stall and no urinal (!); of the four student-use computers on the first floor, *two* have been out of order for months, with a cheap sign laid over them. (Which is maybe just as well, considering the awkward clacking keyboards and ugly backgrounds.) The interested visitor may also like to know that the front desk doesn't stock tissue paper, but you can "go to the restroom if you need to blow your nose." The first floor is used as a cafeteria each day, and in the morning and afternoons it stinks of food. There's a coffee shop where you can buy $9 yogurt bowls and is frequently out of things like chai powder or chocolate syrup, and where the employees wear shirts that say: "CULINART: Innovations in Dining," which is something you'd put on a business letterhead but not on a shirt. The tables have tacky crinkled laminated signs taped to them advertising the amount of theft that occurs there. The entrance confuses everyone who tries to enter who isn't familiar with the system; there are soft seats that have cushions ripped; and the other stories have weird empty zones of trashed study carrels. The lack of study spaces on campus means that it's frequently hard to find a spot anywhere in the library. Outlets are hard to find, and on the top floors, the wifi doesn't always reach. The design of the building allows a lot of natural light, which is good, but the slotted construction of vertical slabs ensures that there's never really a view outside. The services are okay; while the collection is not great, they have off-site storage and great interlibrary loan systems. The digital services are very good. When the desks are manned, the people aren't terrible. Still, every day I go in there, I'm a little shocked at the meanness of the library, of interiors lacking in simple class or comfort, of the weird, second-rate design of it all. (The other building on campus have awkward things too, but they have the grace to be older and to have charm.) As a student, I find it distinctly average and intensely frustrating.

An incredibly weak resource at a school renowned for having the worst of everything.
