This place is the best stop to relax and do your school stuff or watch your favorite show online with fast internet speed.

Great place to go to meet group members, plan projects, write essays last minute, and waste time on one of the MANY available PCs located in the library.

I am feeling blessed to become a member of Nanaimo Library. Really helpful and kind staff members. Clean places. I really appreciate all the help of library staff members who always receive my calls and helping me. Very supportive and outstanding staff. Very peaceful environment for studies.

This is a fantastic library, and it's my go-to building on campus to study and get work done. The entire facility is kept very clean and tidy, which I'm very impressed by considering there are so many students using all the different parts of the library everyday. There are silent study rooms, which play a continuous white noise, allowing for focussed studying in peace and quiet. Many desks in the library are right beside large windows, and allow for absolutely incredible views of Nanaimo, the ocean, and the mountains of the mainland! Highly recommend getting your studying done in this library if you're a VIU student.

One of the nicest buildings on campus, although the hours can be kind of limiting

Great! I can print and scan documents easily and use a computer if I need one.

Ample spaces to make whatever you need out of this library (quiet place to read/study, socialize, use the internet, or *gasp* take out a library book) happen.

Silent room is a great place to study

I love to study here! My issue is cleanliness! Its filthy in there! The walls are covered in stains the tables are constantly filthy. I feel like no wonder we all get so sick!

The librarians are always so incredibly helpful. Often times there are is a librarian who is the contact librarian for a VIU program meaning that they are specialists in finding resources in your field. The issue I have is with the space of the building. There are never enough computers available downstairs. There are never enough desks on the forth floor. It can be SO frustrating when you're trying to find a quiet place to study.

Great place to study. The first floor though is more of a social place, unless you go into the silent rooms.
