The Valley Library

Calm and quiet to get work done.

Excellent - a beautiful space to study in. At the time of writing this, temporarily open by reservation only, Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, though it changes from time to time as a function of OR State restrictions.

So many mixed feelings about this space. Perks: it is clean, pretty accessible, conveniently located, there's an easy-access PokémonGo gym, and the library is staffed by super awesome people. I also really dig the scanners, of which there are an abundance on multiple floors. Forgot your mouse, headphones, charging cable, board game, etc.? Check them out from the front desk! The rotunda is really nice and has distractingly beautiful views, but be prepared to fight your peers for space. Aspects that could use improvement: not enough study space unless you claim your table early (and the competition for space ramps up as the quarter progesses); no public microwave, not even in the lousy Java II area (if they ever get one, they'll easily earn back a star from me); events take priority and people studying get bumped out of study spaces. Dress in layers because the temperature is unpredictable. Also there are not bathrooms on every floor and there is only one way in and out of the library.

Best place to study. Heads down and working environment. People understand the rules and are super co-operative. Staff is fantastic. The books if not available the staff will make sure you are notified when it is. Returning books also super simple. Love the drop box feature they have outside the library. Saves a lot of time.
