Libraries are popular because of their designated study areas within the building for access to everyone. Libraries are also known for the amount of books and useful resources within the building, or just a fun hangout spot to work with friends as long as you are respectful to others around you, according to collegeboxes.com.

“The library on Highway K is under construction right now,” Enlow said. “But I do go [to a library] sometimes for an even quieter place than Panera.”
