Morley Library

Written as a medical student looking for a quiet study space:
I want to give this place 4 stars, I really do. The building is gorgeous! It has a quiet study area that’s entirely enclosed! It is bright and airy and has convenient rest rooms! But I just can’t.
The quiet study room is a glassed in room with cubicles around the edge, it is pretty quiet.
A great number of homeless people come to this library to charge their phones, warm up, hang out, Etc. Yes, they have just as much a right as anyone else to use the library. However what I saw was them come in with their belongings in garbage bags and carrying sleeping bags. I was studying in the quiet room, over the course of the day homeless patrons came in and due to the small poorly ventilated enclosure I had to leave the study room. To be honest, they were fragrant. But also they are using the outlets to charge their phones, text, and sat around reading comics. It’s a bit distracting.
I sat at a table outside the study room and find that there are rules glued to all the outlets, that they are only for laptops and a bunch of things not to do. Just as there was in the study room. This library runs a tight ship, but it seems it is because they deal with some rift-​raft.
The homeless gentlemen in the study room were courteous enough, quiet enough. However the reason I will not be coming back to this library is that when I went to study outside the quiet room on the third floor I was the source of many stares from men. It was incredibly uncomfortable. I was dressed very conservatively but I was stared at almost endlessly by men and they did not feel like friendly stares.
Maybe there’s a nice kids area– I don’t know. But as a single female in her 20s looking for somewhere to study, I don’t think I will be back.
