One of the finest university libraries I've ever been to. It is very organized with differentiated rules for each floor. It usually opens to undergraduates but I can come in as a visitor with no problem at all. Really like the study atmosphere as well. Wish I will be back soon.

One of the quieter places on campus to study. Many floors, so always possible to find a space. However, sometimes it take scanning a few floors to find one.

Huge library. Lots of desks where you can sit and study. Fairly quiet beyond the main floor. There is a printer you can use print credits on and a little coffee shop. There are also collaboration booths you can use with your groups. There is also a basement where it is pretty quiet but has more comfortable seating than the higher floors. There is also a little cafe with nice windows.

It is a really huge library, it has 10 different floors. The upper floors are for quiet study and the lower ones are suitable for groups. Rooms get really busy so book early. Otherwise it is a really good spot to study on your own or with friends. They also have a small cafe/coffee shop on the bottom floor. WAT card is accepted here.

Quiet. Books scatter the shelves as far as the eye can see. Complimentary water fountains on every floor. I used to study in here but stopped because I kept getting lost due to its labyrinthian nature.

It’s a fantastic place to study, since you will have extremely slow internet! Really enjoy it XD.

Two elderly Asian woman in the circulation desk do not speak English good enough to work there. I had to explain them one issue several times. It is really sad that University of Waterloo hires employees with communication incompetency.

My details of this library are being written after a particularily distressing snowy evening trying to find a cellphone charger, but that's not going to blind my review - just try to get a cellphone charging stand!!!! This library is cool, modern, and has really helpful librarians at the front desk, at the door enterance. Don't distress if you don't find what your looking for, just walk among the books and parouse the titles. You're going to find out something for sure! It's interesting to see what others are reading too. Always attentive of your own noises, and keep it light to keep this library open for everyone and a great place to hang out. xoxo love your style.
