Willis Library

I like that there are plenty of computers and you can’t beat a 24 hour availability. I agree with the other poster that the printing set up is bogus. There should be a printer between every so many computer stations such as computer, computer, computer, printer, computer, computer, computer, printer, etc. This is how other colleges have theirs set up — SO much easier than traipsing about the building trying to figure out which printer you even printed to. Most librarian aids and librarians are nice. Avoid Alexis (the red head girl) because she’s a B***H… as in, rude, rude, rude. I don’t know what filing room they dug her out of but they need to send her back! Funny thing is, I asked the front desk if they have class books and the answer was no. Then after dropping almost $ 1000 on books, I come to find out from other students that yes, they do. Thanks a lot, front desk. Now, I’ll just go on a fast for the next six months because hey, I don’t need to eat or anything. I don’t have a Daddy Warbucks footing my bill so I guess food is optional but the books are required here. It would be nice if the off campus parking wasn’t so far away from the main library. So, if they had any kind of off campus parking nearby, fired Alexis, and had printers near the actual computer you’re using, the library would get five stars.

The library is open ²⁴⁄₇. That’s amazing! And there are several floors and many computers. The best to study with hundreds of tables and an awesome coffee shop that is open for a decent amount of hours. The coffee shop has many good options or coffee and food. They even have a microwave to heat up your meal!

I’m not sure how I made through all these years without going to Willis as much, but I guess I have. Right now, it’s highly annoying because they are renovating the upstairs area so it’s kind of loud. Otherwise, it’s a great campus library. The librarians (especially Doug) are super friendly and helpful. If you need something that they don’t have. they’ll still do everything they can to get it for you. And they are open ²⁴⁄₇. Yay!

Willis Library is a good place to study. I agree with Kristin B. where she tells us not to ever buy textbooks. Willis Library carries most required text books minus a few obscure novels, but you can request for them to get the book probably if you could prove that your teacher wants it for class.
They lose a star because the system for making copies is bogus, and they don’t have a change machine on site to help load up your ID with «credits/​cash» in order to swipe into the machine. When trying to ask how to do this, the librarians become really rude and irritated because they assume you should know how to do this since birth.
The computers are fast, the librarians are helpful if you are trying to find books or other materials, and its a generally quiet place.
Loses one other star just because it’s ugly. I enjoy pretty places, so if i want a pretty library, i will go to the Denton public library located off of Parkway st. near quaker park east of Carrol Blvd.

I love this library. The magazine section on the lower level is usually noisy, and it’s funny because you normally hear conversations of people talking about their boyfriend/​girlfriend or whatever. It’s hard to drown out. The reference section in Willis isn’t bad either. They also have tons of information from the government printing offices. I came across a book intended for personnel being assigned to Austria. Of course, I’m pretty easy when it comes to libraries.

Don’t ever buy textbooks. Go to the library first and see if they have it and if it’s available. It most likely will be, because most people don’t think to check out the books as a good alternative to spending a lot of money at the bookstore. I mean, they have what? 4 or 5 floors? Even organized for your pleasure and enabling you to effectively find any stinkin’ book on any stinkin’ subject imaginable. And often I find random books on the shelves next to the one I am going to get that turn out to be good reads.
It’s also a quiet place to study. It’s a LIBRARY. But don’t use your cell phone because the librarian nazis will shoot you on sight.
And if your internet is down, as mine usually is quite often, you can go there and use the computer lab (if you are a student or still have an old ID that the UNT system hasn’t quite trashed yet); and if not, you can use the surrounding computers on the 2^nd-​4^th floors. And it has pretty flexible hours. The student computer lab is open 24 hours a day for all of your last minute research paper printing needs.

Lots of people go to the library to study, duh. Well I actually work here and I just wanted to let you guys in on some secrets.
–Want a quiet place to study? Go to the 2,3,or 4^th floor. The first floor is normally used for hanging out and loud people.
–Need coffee? We have a cyber café that’s got lots of caffeine options.
–Can’t find a book? Well we probably can’t either. The thing is people take books off of shelves and move them around or leave them places so there’s a good chance it could be awhile before it makes it back to it’s place on the shelf.
–For the love of god this is a library so don’t walk in yelling on your cellphone you dumba$$.
