J. Paul Leonard Library

Sadly it closed. Not sure when it will open that's why its 3 stars.

An awesome new library. There is public computers that can be used by anyone. All you need is your California ID to get a username and password.

I love this library, however it closes too early. It's hard to study when it closes around 10pm on the weekdays as well as just after 5-6pm on the weekends. Luckily i've found other places on campus to study, however wouldn't mind paying a lil more in fees to employ staff later and keep more floors open.

Nice place, and the staff and officers are very kind and helpful.nnThat said, the newbies show up from high school and forget they arent in high school anymore, and dont use their inside voice inside. ...nnTrue most of the area is not a quiet study area, but theres still a social understanding of where you are! People are using computers for work, study, and writing and there arent any computers in the quiet areas, and since it is inside and a common area the idea, just like in an elevator, that you aren't talking continuously for HOURS using outside voices!nnGo outside if you're trying to catch up and tell your story about the new noodle place that opened up, and you didnt know how to use the chopsticks properly, and made a mess ... no one cares that your puppy had diarrhea after eating the cat food laced with catnip, and couldnt hold it until you woke up the next day to let her out to go to the bathroom ... and finding a new boyfriend who TOTALLY MATCHES YOU is really cool, but the rest of the room doesnt really care about how sweet he kisses your neck while expressing he need to share everything with you! Save it for yourself. Cherish it. Let it grow, but dont involve the rest of us, We're trying to study!!nnAnd, last thing, theres a such thing as asking politely with a look, or a sound, or a grimace but both of you are either tone deaf, ignorant, jerks or some combination of the three.

Best library I've ever been to, and I've been to plenty. Lot's of comfortable places to sit. WiFi speed could use a little improvement. First floor men's restroom gets messy and gross after the homeless/vagrants and plain disgusting people gets through it. Glad the renovations were through when I attended.
