My mother used to drag my brother and I to libraries everywhere we went to visit as kids, and we used to hang out at our local Mesa Public Library in Los Alamos New Mexico for hours on the weekends. I like the quiet, but also the people. Davis is a real hubbub of activity; there are 8 floors jam packed with books and students, and the bottom, lobby level is a great place with big windows and ample tables and chairs.
I worked for several hours in the room just to the right of the front door, which has tall ceilings and tables with power, and for about 2 hours I assumed this was the only place to study…but during a quick break I wandered to the back of Davis to discover another room just as big and maybe even a little better than the front room. While I was there my mother, the esteemed nedieval historian Dr. Anne Van Arsdall, even came to pay me a visit!
This library aparently has spaces on every floor except the 2nd (?), and the 6th floor is silent. Further research is needed!
