Michael Schwartz Library

Outstanding selection of books. Browsing the 2nd and 4th floor is a great time. There is also a small bookshelf on the first floor full of recommended literature, thank you to whoever put that together.

I give this library three stars because of their inability to clean out the noise pollution in what are targeted as “quiet parts” of the library. There are sections that are known to be noisy or where conversations can take place for group work, and there are sections where there should be very little noise. The computer wing of the library where the writing center is, is suppose to be a very little noise section of the library and I hope as it cracks down to the finishing weeks of the semester it is quiet because so many students are attempting to get work done. This is not the case. I just walked out of the library (4/23/19) really upset because the noise was so loud and none of the staff members were doing anything about it. Instead they were just talking to eachother. I saw many people on their computers looking around acknowledging that it was also too noisy for them. Personally, there is so much on our plates as students in addition the computer area of the library is so important and it is super stressful when we cannot focus on what needs to be done.nnThere are areas on campus where people can gather together around a computer and talk like in the Student Center. The library is not one of these areas on campus, to my acknowledgement. I just wish the staff would enforce the little noise only rule instead of just letting everyone talk freely in what should be a quieter zone of the library.nnOther than that, this library usually has a helpful staff.

CSU library is a great place to hangout, study, print and could also do a lot of things. The staff working here is friendly and respectful. Great option for different books and honestly the library is resourceful. Prints and scanner are located on most of the corners. Usually silent on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the library. Never had a bad experience in the library.

Helpful, friendly staff. Obviously a very useful place to study if you're on campus.

Not the best space to study if you don't get a study carrel. Something that would greatly improve the library is having more power outlets for laptops.
