Everyone has heard of
Pattee and Paterno - but when you can't find a desk in the stacks and all of
the comfy armchairs in the reading room are full - what do you do? Few people
know that there are lots of other libraries besides the main library - here are three of my favorite
"secret" libraries around campus!
1. The Physical and Mathematical Sciences Library
Located in 201 Davey Lab,
right across the street from the HUB and connected to Osmond, the Davey Library
is a great spot to go if you're looking to rent out any Math or Science
textbooks for a few hours. Davey also has a bunch of great private study rooms
that you and some friends can reserve to study for that big exam coming up. 
2. Earth and Mineral Sciences Library
With small rock formations on display around the books, it
is definitely the coolest library around. This small library is always
deserted, considering the only people who seem to know about it seem to be in
the college of Earth and Mineral Sciences!
3. Architecture and Landscape Architecture Library
Located in the North part
of campus, the Architecture and Landscape Architecture (Larch!) library is in a
great spot; there are hundreds of architecture design projects all over
Stuckeman Building. The curving bookshelf display case and open classroom in
the lobby make this a unique and fun place to study!
So those are my top three
favorite unknown libraries, but to close I'll let you in on a little-known fun
fact about Pattee: after 12 am, the Extended Hours Room on the first floor
starts serving coffee for all of its late-night studiers! Definitely something
to check out.
So shake up your regular study
routine and check out one of these awesome spots - with new surroundings and
few people around, you definitely won't regret it!
