The David O. McKay Library serves university and community patrons with a vast book collection, hundreds of databases, and much more. The building also houses university archives, a special exhibition area, and instructional technology labs.
The staff have recently been knowledgeable and willing to help. The remodel has brought way more study space than before and new brightness- woohoo for bright lighting! Check out a book, there are so many untouched.

This used to be my favorite study spot before the renovation but now it’s crap. I don’t get what is so appealing about modern architecture. It is the definition of garbage. It was fine just the way it was. if a tornado came down and hit it that would be an improvement. This disaster of a renovation is one of the worst mistakes the campus has made.

Usually I would give four stars, but they're is so much construction going on that it is really hard to get in.
