The TWU Blagg-Huey Library is a hub of productive activity. It's a great place to work, use a computer, meet with fellow students and more. Sometimes though, a library user just needs a little quiet. Where to go to find some? Consider this your guided tour of the quiet spots.
The first floor of the library is not a designated quiet area, and is probably the noisiest section of the entire building. On sunny days you'll hear the click-clack-click and the clump-clump-clump of stylish shoes as they move across the terrazzo. On rainy days you'll hear the squishing, squeaking sounds of wet sneakers and rain boots. Tour groups regularly visit the library for our "Star Treatment Tour." Every few minutes the telephone rings and you hear "Blagg-Huey Library Information Desk. How may I help you?" The printers run almost nonstop. Students use the tables in the Reference area to work with their classmates on group projects and presentations. The Reference area is also where students are encouraged to seek assistance from library staff members regarding research resources (e.g. the databas
es, library catalog or RefWorks). As a result, you may hear the voice of a library staff person helping a student in the workstation next to yours. You may appreciate the helpfulness of the library staff members, because next time you may be the one who needs assistance--but with assignments and projects to complete, papers to write and tests to prepare for, you wish it was quieter and wonder "Where should I go?".
Your Floor-by-Floor Guide to the Library's Quiet Areas
The 1st Floor Try the carrels on the left side of the library along the walls. Most of the carrels are near windows and have a nice view of the campus greenery. Remember, you can check out a laptop at the Circulation Desk.
