Golden West College Library

Awesome library! I think it’s open to the community too, so it doesn’t seem like you have to be a student to study here (still gotta pay for parking though).
This is a nice library — newer than the one they had closer to the middle of campus. I like the third floor (which is the library’s 2^nd floor — as the first floor is occupied by their computer center/​tech lab). It’s pretty quiet up here most of the time and the students keep to themselves. There are plenty of outlets on the third floor so you can plug in and recharge your laptop while you study. Plenty of seating as well — I like the ones that line the HUGE picturesque glass windows that overlook the parking lot, Goldenwest Street and beyond. You can see the mountain range far far in the backdrop on clearer days.
A great plus is the strong wifi connection here and also that it was nicely ventilated/​air conditioned — so it creates a nice refuge from the heat waves we’ve been having in the area lately.
The staff/​librarians here are friendly — I haven’t had to use any of their services or expertise, but they’re always cheerful/​happy looking.
Restrooms are clean for the most part — the ones on the 1^st and 2^nd floor tend to get messy throughout the door due to the traffic, the cleanest ones I feel, are on the 3^rd floor as most students don’t head up that high.
Hours can be a bit better — maybe open later during the week and even have hours during the weekends if budget permits. Current hours — Mon/​Tues/​Wed/​Thurs — 8a to 845p and Fridays 8am to 3p.

Love it here! I always get so much studying done when I’m here. There are plenty of tables and study rooms available. I’ve never had problems finding a spot with an outlet for my laptop (even on finals week). This year they gave free coffee, tea, snacks and testing supplies during finals week which was really helpful. I’ve never actually checked out any books or anything here so I can’t tell you if it’s any good but the librarians are usually nice and helpful.

this library is 2 story! once you go up the stairs they have these huge yellow and orange bean bags you can sit and chill/​study. i like coming here because i can concentrate by myself without any distractions!
IT IS SOO QUIET! which is a plus.
they also have an option to save a room so you can come with classmates and have a study session. sometimes if the groups are too loud you can hear the others but for the most part every room has a computer and outlets included. the staff here is helpful i never had any problems with them.
overall a great place to study and relax.
