Delivers on the gothic-revival Oxbridge replica reading room experience you would expect from this ivy covered campus.

Your quintessential Oxbridge-inspired gothic-styled grand hall university reading room (Arley D Cathey) is located here on the 3rd floor, next to the bustling Harper Cafe by the elevator in the east tower of the building. The statue just across the road toward Midway Plaisance looks like Kant at first but I guess they all fashioned their hair and clothing very similarly to each other back then

This is my favorite place to read a book. Gorgeous study area, gothic architecture, and little noise. I highly recommend visiting or coming here to get important stuff done!

No, and currently the space that was traditionally the library houses no books.

Yes, but you wont get internet access. Also it is not a library, but just a reading room
