UCLA Powell Library

Nice architecture. Just a little heads up, the reading room is closed.

I love spending time to read a good book beside the library during weekends and holidays. Although, the library is closed, the surrounding atmosphere is very nice.

Now closed during COVID 19, before it is a popular study venue for students. The building looks nice outside, it is better if you go inside. It is classy and roomy, when you get tired, good for a nap too.

Breathtaking The atmosphere there is really nice for reading

Unique and Antique! I probably wouldn’t study in this library, but the atmosphere of the library is like jumping in a time machine to a library a few hundred years ago with different types of art and architecture in its interior. If you are an art lover or someone who loves architecture, this is the place for you. If you want to study, I wouldn’t recommend it. People are always talking, walking and disturbing so it’s not a quiet environment.

Probably one of the best libraries I have been to in the world. The feel you get here an out of the world experience. Reminds me of Harry Potter's Hogwarts. There are a number of books in a number of genres. The staff is informative about their books. There is digital library too. You can relax here reading newspaper, books or just surfing the internet.

Elegant, classic and beautiful

My labyrinth of study as a graduate student. Got tons of writing and reflection done here. The architecture is amazing and the space has tons of resources to offer, both electronically and physically.

very kawaii. check it out for video games, comics, and lots of great literature. As for studying, the reading desks with light do not have power, but most of the desks do by the floorside. Printing and internet is offered for those with Bruincards. You will see random people you haven't talked to in years and chat a little with them too sometimes. Reserve books are here but I still haven't figured out how to use the scanner so I just walk over to another library and use the scanner. Arts has one.

This is an old library and its age shows in the restrooms. Aside from that though, it looks very historic and there's a beautiful rotunda design. You can also catch students sleeping in the library during finals week.
