Geology Library - North Mudd

Availability: Good.

Description: This is a working library and cannot be closed for shoots, so while a shoot is going on, students must still have access to books, computers, etc. Two octagonal tables with leather chairs, fireplace, tall windows on two walls, dark wood bookshelves. This room is open to a hallway and sound could be a big problem. It's on the first floor, but access is up a good sized flight of stairs or via two different elevators, starting in South Mudd, going to the top floor, switching elevators and coming down to the first floor of North Mudd.

Athenaeum Library

Availability: Good, but dependent on previously scheduled meetings/meals in the room. It is often reserved for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Description: Dark paneled room with floor to ceiling bookshelves, one large window, leather wing chairs, card table, removable dining table(s), chandelier, floor and table lamps, Oriental rug. Quiet.

Biology Library - Kerckhoff, 2nd floor

Availability: Limited to biology-oriented interviews. Prescheduled activities may take precedence.

Description: tall bookshelves of dark wood. Waist to ceiling windows (2-story) on three walls with no window coverings. Wright-inspiried lighting, hardwood floors, leather club chairs and couches, long tables with lamps and leather desk chairs. Fairly quiet, although the glass doors that lead onto the hallway don't block sounds from the hall or nearby labs.

Avery Library

Availability: Limited because activities and events are scheduled in this room on a fairly regular basis.

Description: Wright-inspired couch, chairs, furnishings, hardwood floor, fireplace, long conference table, windows along one long wall with white curtains. Fairly quiet, although the room is adjacent to a courtyard which gets busy at meal times.

Sherman Fairchild Library - 3rd floor

Availability: Extremely Poor

Description: This is a working library and is used throughout the year. Modern. Beautiful arched ceiling over the 3rd floor. Small minimalistic room pictured (at center) is more available than the rest of the 3rd floor reading room.
