The Harold B. Lee Library does a great job of working to get relevant content to students at BYU through a variety of means. While there are some spots of the library that suffer from overcrowded wireless access points, there are many spaces that offer a great place to study in an environment that i...

Best library in the whole world! I could probably live here if they didn't kick me out every night with loud music. The vast amount of information in this library is unprecedented in the history of libraries. Each book contains new knowledge I've never learned before.

This library would be great if the double doors to the Reading Room didn't make a loud clanking noise every time they closed. That is so incredibly annoying!!! The metal locking piece on the doors bang against the metal hook on the frame every single time someone walks in or out of those doors and i...

The Harold B. Lee Library is an excellent location to study. They have quiet locations as well as spots where you can talk to those around you. There are tons of computers to use. The busiest time is probably Thursdays from 11:00 am until noon.

I do work here so maybe I'm a bit biased but the HBLL is a great place to be. They have tons of on-campus resources that you might not expect, such as iPads, cameras, and camcorders that you can check out, a green screen you can use, free classes on how to use Microsoft and Adobe software, and even...

What a wonderful library! Books on every subject, plenty of tables and chairs to chill out and study, lots of vending machines, and a large room full of computers for anyone to use. It is my second day attending BYU and I must say, despite the great facilities here, I recently purchased a bag of sou...

There's a reason this library has won so many awards. It is beautifully maintained, has many great resources, and is arranged in a user-friendly way. There's a designated area where you can talk loudly and work in groups, an area where you can eat while you study, and many study rooms and other spec...

Beautiful library both inside and out. And then there's the sheer size! I am certain, even as a BYU alumnus, there are parts of this place I've never even seen.

If nothing else, make sure to check out the special displays they exhibit temporarily.

Best place to study, do homework, or do research. The library gives me access to all kinds of cool things like computers with powerful programs and books! Perhaps most impressive is their growing online collection, which is even accessible to students from their homes!

I enjoy the chill environment and the helpfulness of the staff. I get lost easy here but they're always willing to help. Excellent recording studio and volumes of audio books. Everything is well organized and streamlined such that finding what I'm looking for is a breeze. And even I get confused the...

Temporarily live very close and have found that while not a student, I can get a decent amount of studying and work done in all areas of the library. However, the third floor can get a little loud sometimes by the food/soda machines.

I used this library as a student and I worked here for 4 years. I have nothing but good things to say about their services.
They have a wide variety of online databases and access to tons of articles in all fields of study. It is always clean.
The third floor (the main floor) is always crowded, do...

The library is easy to navigate and usually has helpful staff who make everything easy. It can get packed during times before tests, but there is almost always a place to study. You can reserve rooms to study in personally or as a group.

Beautiful study spaces, unparalleled research resources. Also, great concerts, lectures, art galleries, and historic film series, which are all free and open to the public. Great place for a free family night. Check the flyers around the security desks in the front entrance for info.

I love spending time in this library. Certain floors play peaceful music for students studying, while other floors are as quiet as can be. Impressive with how many students there are on campus. Just another reason why BYU is a fantastic institution.

We were visiting our BYU son and daughter, and had some time on campus, so we walked over to tour the Harold B. Lee library. What a treat! We saw exhibits on the Golden Spike and Utah railroad history, as well as other displays. It was well worth a few minutes to explore the architecture and offe...

Good grief, this place is amazing. I can find literally any sort of book I need here. If I can't find it in the library, I can probably access it online through the university's subscriptions and contracts with publishers.

There are plenty of places to study, nap, read, etc. The library itself is...

The largest library that I have ever been to. Not to mention that alot has been digitized and the Library website is very easy to maneuver. I loved the 4th floor. There are isles of sheet music and on the other side of the sheet music isles are movie theatre rooms that can be booked online! I ha...
