    Definitely best place to study on campus! You can bring snacks and coffee for that all-nighter you have to pull at the end of the semester :D

    In August of 2011, a 5.8 earthquake hit DC. There was a significant amount of damage to McKeldin's 8 floors of books, but just over 24 hours later the staff had all the books ready to be sorted! Read more

    If you wanna talk for whatever reason in the library, do not do so above the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor is much too noisy for people with attention problems, the rest are quiet study only.

    The 4th-7th floors have been designated as quiet floors. Head there for serious studying!

    Avoid the homeless man feeding the squirrels! He'll yell at you if you get too close to the "babies."
