The Reed Library at Fredonia State College has a very large open area as you enter the library. There is no crowding around the circulation and reference desks.
There are multiple group work areas near the entrance, as well as a handful of computers. In this group of tables, there were several that were counter height and these tables had stools, instead of chairs.
There was original artwork throughout the library.
The library had a couple enclosed group study rooms.
The individual study carrells were designed into the architecture of the library. They are made of the same concrete as the pillars.
WiFi is available throughout the library.
The reference stacks have a poster display about censorship. The posters contain information about books on the ALA's Most Frequently Challenged Books.
There is an atrium connecting the one portion of the library to the other. This is the only area in the library where food is allowed.
The library has a Learning Center where student can go for help from tutors. This area is set up with tables and each table is labeled for help in a specific area of study.
The Tower Study Lounge -- space on two floors for individual and group study. On the upper floor, the library placed a red emergency phone.
One of the study areas is labeled as a reading room and at one end, there are pieces of antique furniture and prints in honor of a donor to the library.
The Reed Library has a special section set aside for students studying music. They have a separate floor off of the main entrance. This section of the library has display cases, listening centers (tape, CD and record), a sizeable LP collection, and permanent concrete carrells for viewing videos.
The Office of the Registrar is located within the library.
