Desk staff were very welcoming and friendly, and responded efficiently to my request for help.

After flying fire fighting in Kuwait in 1991, I somehow ended up on the UW campus, with no memory for why and the reason was probably related to my work in Kuwait, and I ended up being guided to apply for a job the library by circumstances that were possibly artificial. i did work there for a year or two, and thought I loved it at the time except there were strange problems that I now believe had to do with predators that I was unaware of at the time, some of whom seemed to have jobs on the campus. I was not often treated fairly and this was systematic. I was pushed out of my job by extreme sexual harassment and I have not ever been apologized to nor compensated for this. I was deprived of all benefit and I strongly suspect that I was lied to about benefits as part of a systematic sexual diss that was totally unfair to me.

The best in UW libraries (10 floors) , it is actually open for Undergraduates but even graduates can come and use this place. It has a good cafeteria inside the library itself and this is known for giving the beautiful view of the University

Huge library. Lots of desks where you can sit and study. Fairly quiet beyond the main floor. There is a printer you can use print credits on and a little coffee shop. There are also collaboration booths you can use with your groups. There is also a basement where it is pretty quiet but has more comfortable seating than the higher floors.

The 6th and 3rd floor desks are the best. If you don't find a seat on the bottom floors, the top most floors usually always have desks.
