The D.B. Weldon Library Reviews

Used to be good in my 1st year, now in my 4th and this place sucks. Went from food on every level to absolutely no food in the library at all which is a joke when you are studying 12-hour days. You will be publicly beaten and shamed by security if you are found with food. Sometimes you can bribe the guy with the triple chin and double mustache but don't count on it.

A student favourite, one wonders why this library is so popular. While it retains the atmosphere of an old library which is condusive to focused studying, my experience during the exam season has been nothing short of a catastrophe. One will find it a normal occurrence to be roaming the library, floor to floor, sweating due to the abnormally warm temperatures, just trying to find a spot to study. If your laptop isn't charged, you have absolutely no business even stepping into this structure during the exam season. During other parts of the year, however, Weldon is an adequate library with an abundance of study locations.

Great, quiet place to study. Although hard to find places sometimes

Just can t say anything about its terrible elevators, anyway it s a great place for studying.

Very large, with lots of seating. It gets crazy busy during exam time so it's worthwhile to go in early. Also remember to try and book study rooms if you are a group, i found that easier many times.

While Weldon can have its ups and down many people know it as the D.B. Penitentiary. Personally, I am not sure whether this is because it very much resembles a prison on the outside and some parts of the inside or if its just a nickname because its most students second home. Either way the library has good lighting and plugs for chargers in many areas, however in the winter it is so hot inside everyone's face is red!

thanks for your help dear Amberley M. K. Zavitz-Li

i have study at western for 4 years and the Liberians are always nice and friendly to me and amberly did even better jobs to help me to solve my alumni account issues; further more, she also follow me up a email to present me additional solutions. i can not ask for more and this is more than the legendary customer service. i have to say such nice employee is the best asset for this university. all the best and thanks for your extra work.

It's hard to find a spot during exams, but once you find a spot, you have this satisfaction that I can't explain. It gets a little messy when students don't throw away their Timmie cups. It's also frustrating when people leave their notes and/jackets at a seat and don't return within 3+ hours.

Beautiful place to sit down, get some studying done, or just relax. Six floors of books available for all your academic purposes, plus an entire online digital library available. Service desk has different hours than Weldon's official hours, and closes much earlier (usually around 5pm). Good place to print what you need, too. Stairwell looks a bit like a dungeon, but the floors have large windows that allow for a beautiful view and lots of natural light. Also, the underground tunnel connecting Weldon to the UCC is incredibly convenient in the winter.
