    Don't come here if you're looking for a quiet place (which is the main point of a library) everyone in the upstairs area talks loud

    As of August 23, 2011 - My Yelp profile has been viewed 40814 times. Now if I had a nickel for each…read moretime my profile has been viewed I would have a million dollars. It's obvious my math skills are extremely sharp and since I am so smart I should hang with others just as brilliant as me. I head off to the Harvard Business School to hang out with my fellow Mensa peers and spend an entire afternoon in the library. For five hours I sat in here on a hot, humid and rainy day in July of 2009. This was the perfect escape from my boring hotel room down the road and the prime spot to get my blood flowing and drill through spreadsheets and crumpled faxes and get some serious work done. I don't know what it is, but the wifi here seems just a bit faster than most. For a library, it is well lit and plenty of hidden nooks to sit in complete privacy and pretend you are in your final semester of your Ivy League MBA education. I may not be a graduate of Harvard, but our school colors are close. They being crimson and we being cardinal, but in the end isn't it just red?

    Beautifully designed library at the center of the HBS campus. This is one of the few big landmarks…read morefor tourists visiting the business school as well as a quiet study place for students. Contrary to its name, the Baker Library is not commonly used as a library. Many students prefer to hold group meetings here because the library does not enforce its quiet policy very strictly.

    Also got kicked out of an empty "children's" section even though I was looking for YA books to…read moreread. Some parts of the walls look really under disrepair. Otherwise it's a solid library.

    I love this library! I only discovered it pretty recently after I moved closer to Allston. First of…read moreall, it's so nicely designed, with an atrium and a cool park with green grass and a cement structure in the back! There is a small parking lot as well as street parking too! I love all the glass and the rose wood looking paneling. The children's section is SO quiet and calm compared to the other libraries I have frequented. Same for the toddler singing time on Tuesday's. It is small and intimate, friendly and fun! There are plenty of puppets, pretend play toys, trains, paper and crayons etc for the kids to entertain themselves. Whether baby, toddler or big kid, there's something for everyone! Thea the primary children's librarian that's ive come in contact with is super nice and has always greeted us with a large smile. She recently helped me find various books on telling time and Paddington Bear. She was so helpful and kind, knowledgeable and quick. The staff at checkout is always the same bunch and they are so low key and cool as well! The fines are pretty steep if you have over due books. They even once helped me resolve a fine that I was confused about. They took my word that I never had that book and removed the fine immediately. There is a used book sale every so often and it's a cool sale Bc I have gotten a lot of treasures at this sale! I plan to donate my books here when I no longer need them Bc i feel good about supporting this library. This is how libraries should be...comfortable, friendly, clean and pleasant.
