Good in theory but there's so many homeless people there.

if I wanted to hang out with a bunch of homeless people I'd stop paying my rent

libraries suck at my college...annoying "cool" kids think that they can go there, sit down with a book and make obnoxiously loud noise and still consider themselves studying...

This. I just watched season 2 of Mad Men, both Kill Bills, and Avatar and I can see why Anna has the opinion he does against Avatar.

Libraries are the best braries

Goodnight Austin Texas, wherever you are!

Libraries are good for renting stuff, but for hanging out/studying they're the worst. It's all a bunch of people procrastinating and spending literally all day in there trying to write a 5 page paper or something.

Oh, I am one yet many.

For some reason I clicked this topic hoping for "you can't play any video games. How can you play any video games if you don't go to the library?!?"

I go to the library every day, because that's really the only place I can hang out until my next class. It's pretty nice, but if I'm not doing homework I'm just on my laptop doing what I would do at home.

Excluding the porn.

All the proteins, vitamins, and carbs of your grandma's best turkey dinner, plus 15% alcohol.

I'm in the library.

Actually I would be in the library right now, but my first class was at 7 and I was too tired to sit in the library for 4 and a half hours, so I came home and slept instead. I'm about read to go to my next class now.

Libraries are awesome! It's nice to see people's honest opinions about them too. I'm in library school right now, so I rarely get to hear people talk them down.

Homeless people are a problem for Public Libraries. You can't tell them they aren't allowed in, you can't limit how long they stay and you can't even ask them not to use your bathrooms. That, and they look tend to look up porn on library computers much more often than anyone else, which doesn't help.

And although most "modern" academic libraries are built around the premise of group study and general interaction, with coffee shops, computers, large tables and open spaces, it's not all like that. I can't image that one couldn't find any quiet places for you to study. Rent one of the study rooms, rent one of the study corrals/cages, study in the archives/special collections, study in the basement stacks, ask someone at the circ desk for the quietest place.

And as said in this topic, you can borrow books, movies, video games, ebooks, audiobooks, software (rosetta stone, etc), and most importantly for academics, articles! Libraries are getting pretty creative with their lending too. Yale, for example, has a puppy they rent out, and others lend various tools and such.

Libraries are cool, but generally I prefer to own books. I haven't used my local library in years.

Rent one of the study rooms

Oh yeah this is true, if you get one of those closed off rooms with clouded windows and a big ass table and a TV, and just have a group meeting in there, you feel like such a boss.

That's all libraries are good for, though, group work.

a neighbouring city just built a new library next to the campus for one of my classes. i've been in there a few times and it's the most comfortable place to study I've come across:

http://www.civicsurrey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/scclibtour34-500x375.jpg?tti

so many outlets, seats, and quiet study rooms. i'm gonna get a lot of use out of it. it's better than my school's three libraries easily, and a much better place to study than the VPL because there isn't as much traffic. nice selection of books and DVDs as well. I've taken out a few Absolute volumes of DC comics and some Bukowski books already.
