David W. Mullins Library - Fayetteville, Arkansas

The atmosphere here is great. The darker coloring on the quiet floor is cozy, and the wooden chairs lining their lower tables are surprisingly comfortable and supportive. The brightness of the lamps across each table can be adjusted, and rotated toward the ceiling if your neighbor needs light but you don’t want any.

Photos were taken during Summer semester.

Very quiet place to focus on school work on campus

[update] Religious solicitation targeting couples is rampant. This place is NOT safe.

I love libraries and this one is beautiful. I stopped by while traveling and probably got lucky that it was a rainy Saturday in the summer as I seemed to have the place mostly to myself. The facilities were truly beautiful, walking the stacks was a great experience, and there are neat places to sit and read, study, or relax all over.

The Mullins Library has many facilities! There are study rooms, computers, art museums, and thousands of books to choose from. It's also a perfect place to get some quiet time to finish up assignments or study for an exam. The staff are very friendly and helpful!

This is the best library around. It is AMAZING. The kid's area is by far one of the best things to do in Fayetteville with your kids. There are educational computer games, tons of books, puzzles, and a touch screen game "tablet" (?) that you can play air hockey (and other games that I can't remember right now). There are rooms you can reserve upstairs for studying. You can grab a cup of coffee and snacks from a local coffee shop on the first floor. There are awesome swings and chairs outside that you can chill and relax in and you can't beat the view. There are also tons of DVDs for all ages. There are also tons of events held here every week from magicians for the kids, to public discussions, book clubs, and anything in between.

I've had the opportunity of visiting several libraries across the country and this is honestly one of my worst experiences ever. Firstly, how do you have a library when students, researchers and members of the community, can not find a convenient space to park their vehicles in order to access the wealth of knowledge it holds within its walls? It honestly defeats the purpose of acquiring knowledge... For all the time I went to this library, even on weekends and when I tried to get in almost an hour early before it opened, I always struggled to find a parking space or had to pay for one in most cases.

Students usually had to park their car at Dickson, the stadium area or behind the chemistry laboratory and sometimes walk up to 15 minutes in order to come study in the building. This is really honestly appalling. Even the paid packing spots are often not even available on some days. The library is pretty okay, and has a rich store of academically inclined materials, although the study area could be improved in several ways.

Most importantly, if you do not know the area very well or not set to pay for parking. Kindly do not waste your time driving here, you may spend more time driving around trying to find a parking spot than actually studying.

Good place to study. When it's not under construction, study rooms can be reserved for groups of 2+, or cubicles for individuals. If the library doesn't have the material you're looking for you can request the item through interlibrary loan for free.
