A Student Perspective
“The library is a comfortable and a quiet place to get work done. That is why I go 3-5 times per week.”
“It is laid out perfectly to accommodate for those who need silence, to those who want to do group work”
“It is a great place, with numerous resources”

Message
People who utilize the Library’s resources can achieve more in less time, achieve better focus, and achieve a higher quality of work. Furthermore, these students may be further motivated to do their work as well.
