Exceptional library. A great selection of fiction and non-fiction. Plenty of copies of new and…read moredemanded books. Online has a huge selection of ebooks and audiobooks you can download through Kindle, Ipad, and Adobe. The wifi can be spotty, but it's free so I never complain. The computers usually get taken quickly as do the study booths. The bathrooms are clean and the conference rooms are nice. Also, there's a good selection of music. The first floor children's area has more games than you can imagine along with a lizard!! Parking can be painful. The garage under the library is not recommended if you have a large SUV or truck. It gets really tight. Sometimes, it's just easier to pay for street parking.

What a place! The renovation is amazing. Beautiful facility. I was very impressed with the…read morechildren's section of this library in particular. They had a great variety of books and educational games/toys for children to act out and perform dramatic play. I also liked how they had information around the library for parents explaining the purpose of the toys available and how to best help their child with the activity. The staff was very helpful when asked about ebooks. Parking is limited - Welcome to State College.

Make a 30ish mile out of the way tangent to see the world's most (in)famous rodent? Sure, why not?…read more Here's what matters: - No, we would never dream of coming here on a certain day in February - Parking was super easy at the rear lot for the library/police station/fire department/hair care/tire center - Apparently when it snows and gets icy, the locals don't believe in salting their sidewalks - We saw Phil in his burrow from the outside window. Downside is that Phil's burrow looked a little philthy. Looked like some combo of gnats/flies/ants/bugs in and around Phil's food dish which is kind of disgusting. Is their a need to come here? Of course not. But I guess what the hell, just to say that you've been to a place that is semi-relevant in this country's consciousness for a brief time in the morning once a year.

Most times the reason to come to a library is because you are a bibliophile. But there is a…read moreparticular reason to come to the Punxsutawney Memorial Library. And it is not for the books. The library is home to Phil's Burrow. Yes, that Phil. Punxsutawney Phil. You know who I'm talking about. That loveable dude that we all either want to hug or hate on February 2nd. Groundhog Day. I do have to be an aside here, and it has to do with the movie. If you saw the movie and you think you know, you don't. The movie wasn't even taped in Punxsy, it was taped in some town in Illinois. For the longest time I had no idea where this was located and I have been to the festivals at least twice in my life. I thought it was some mystical place that would be glamorous, but it isn't. Well, it is a bit mystical as it is a library. You can view Phil one of two ways. You can view from outside and see into his burrow. Or, or maybe and, you can go inside the library and view him on the platform in the children's literature section of the library. You will get to see Phil in his habitat. But you know what is really cool, Phil has a spouse. You will never guess what his spouse's name is...Phyllis. I was impressed by that. Give this a stop while in the area.

The website can be a bit confusing, but the staff are consistently kind and helpful. The option to…read morereserve books online and pick them up in person is especially convenient. Overall, it's a great place to study, and having a Starbucks on-site is a nice bonus. It would earn a higher rating if not for the limited weekend hours: the library closes at 7:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, which can be frustrating when you're working on a major project or preparing for an exam.

Dear Pattee/Paterno: Your new website is the worst. It never works, the search engine is useless,…read moreyou have buried the links to electronic journal articles (what if I don't WANT to search "ProQuest?!) and counter-intuitively shrunk the size of the "My Account" link so that I inevitably cannot find it every time I'm on your site. I also can't get my GoogleScholar to sync back up with your atrotious and useless design. Did I mention you hardly ever work? The last five or six times I tried to look something up you were down; after it finally came back up you told me I was a "blocked user" so that I couldn't proceed any further than before. There is also this one REALLY MEAN girl who works at the check-out desk. Look, I love libraries, I really do. I actually USE the library quite frequently unlike a majority of my students who don't even know where it is. But you have to get rid of that miserable woman, she doesn't even look you in the face when you walk up to the desk. Last, your hours SUCK! Never in my life have I gone to a University with SUCKY hours! And I've been enrolled in far crappier schools; if you wonder why Penn State has a drinking problem, maybe it's because you've created a climate where no one is able to study where they need after 9pm on a damn weekend. Maybe I need to check out books after midnight?
