Check out the Common Knowledge Café, a student-run coffee shop on the third floor of the East tower.

The arm chairs are too comfy for doing actual work. You will fall asleep.

If you feel a drop in your blood sugar, get something from the cafe at the east tower 3rd floor.

Open your soda can before entering the reading room. Otherwise, you will attract stares.

Pretty good cafe but the microwave sucks. Keep that in mind if you're buying food.

Not actually a library. Libraries require books.
