They offer tons of programs for older people who want to figure out their computers, to babysitting courses for teens and resume writing help for anyone! There are great study areas on the top and middle floors and every once and a while they have old books for sale for about a quarter each! I have been coming here to study since I was a kid and it is my favourite library in this town. The old librarians are always helpful if you need it. The young people who put away the books sometimes will start to gossip when you are trying to study but if you tell them off they are horrified. Some odd rules exist like they don't want you to put your feet up on the ancient tables and you can't have a computer in the silent study room... Making it useless but other than that it's a good library.

Walking in from the second floor, you will see a WIlliams Cafe on the right hand side and it's usually busy during the hours that people maneuver between classes.

It is equipped with a wide open space isolated with glass doors for relaxing, computers and no food area at the top and a quiet area for studying at the bottom section. Health Sciences Library is equipped with several study rooms to discuss projects with your peers.

Thode Library is a beautiful circular library with four floors (including basement). It is located…read moreright by the McMaster Go Train terminal. Thode is usually not the most common choice of library to visit during school session as it is located on the edge of campus, but definitely a popular choice as plenty of students come here during exams. A little old on the inside, but there's a ton of macbooks and computers for students to use. In addition, a couple booths are set up. The first floor is usually for group projects whereas the second floor or basement are the quiet areas where a student has a cubby to themselves. The second floor is filled ENTIRELY of cubbies. The top floor is reserved for integrated science students. If you ever feel hungry, there's a small cafe opened near the entrance of Thode.

The Library is a decent…read moresize and they have always some nice classes for babies and preschoolers ( which most of them you have to pre register online ). The Library has some nice comfortable sofa's but also tables with comfy chairs where you can set up your laptop with I believe free Wifi. The south facing wall is all windows and that is also where most of the sofas are situated for reading. They have a beautiful pool with a nice big slide, family change room and the life guards are very nice and friendly. They take good care of the shallow "baby pool" and make sure no rowdy kids go through there. I find they could offer a better pool schedule in terms of keep the baby pool more often open. I haven't used the rest of the facility like the fitness center etc.

I don't know any McMaster Student who hasn't been to Mills Library when they are studying between…read moreclasses or just studying in general. There are six floors to Mills, first floor is usually the loudest and they have new installations of comfy chairs in the area before the bathroom with plenty of plugs for students and their laptops. Second floor is generally slightly quieter, though can still be fairly loud. Second floor also has a wide open area for larger groups to study - yes this can be slightly loud as well. Third floor has a quiet area to it, and with the new installations, can house a lot more students. I find that a lot of students in third floor like to do the SILENT whisper and some even like to do the quiet talking up here, but it's REALLY distracting to some students, so if you want to talk, go to first and second floor. Sixth floor is the DEAD quiet area. Literally, unless you want to get pissed off glares at you, you have to be SILENT on the top floor. Usually, you can be very productive here as there's no distractions (except your own computer of course, being the major distractor usually). I believe Mills is the oldest library of McMaster, so it's definitely not as pretty as other ones, such as the one in HSC, but many student definitely pass by this library.

There was a game by the kid section of the library and there was a sticker station (not sure if this is offered on the daily). The 3d printing allows you to make miniature toys and learn how to design your 3d art. There is a two hour limit on the 3d printing. Very enjoyable!
