Walking through the courtyard in between Langdale and Sparks Hall is this large building with automated doors and GSU security in the entrance you are at the library. You walk in to see large stairwell leading up to several other floors, students on computers,reading, talking, writing. There are several places to sit booths,tables, comfy chairs and Saxs coffee located on the first floor when you need that extra fix. There are lines of desk topped with computers as far as the eye can see and book shelves with a countless number of books.

The chairs occupy this space because it opens an invitation to stay and get comfortable. The computers are there for you to do work or use for whatever purpose they may need. Saks coffee is there inviting you in with the nice aroma that flow under your nose as you sit and work, they are there for the revenue.  The tables , the seating, books, and the coffee shop creates a feel of comfort and relaxation.These things could spark a conversation ,maybe someone could help you with your work, or maybe you could make a life long friend.

Workers, college students, professors all occupy this space. You have the people at the front available to help and answer any question you may need. People are typing on the computers and writing. Some are in a cozy corner reading or others just running in to use the printer. Others are in study groups working together and some engaging in cordial conversation or just relaxing and enjoying downtime.

Many people occupy this space the oriental boy with the short black hair, the  caucasian girl with the long straight hair, the professor with the nice suit, or the athlete with the basketball shorts and the t-shirt. They all choose to occupy this space for one reason or another but they can get what they need done here. Rather it be them working, reading, or just simply relaxing you have the option of all these things in one place. You can get a cup of coffee and study or just meet up with someone but they are guaranteed the peace and quiet they may not receive anywhere else.
