Most students go to the Harold B. Lee Library to study, but the library is so much more than just a study spot.
The library has resources for every college on campus.
"There is a librarian who has experience in your field, and you can just go online and look them up. Just go to the library page and look up this subject, and you can make an appointment directly with that librarian, and they'll sit down and meet with you one-on-one and help you with your topics," Roger Layton, HBLL public relations specialist, said.
The library website also gives students access to research guides and free classes.
"We have free software classes for Adobe, Microsoft and other products. They're one to three session classes that are free, and you can learn new skills," Layton said.
Many visit to read some of the library's four million books. This includes rare books found in Special Collections on the first floor.
"Special collections is a place in the library where we have the more rare books and valuable books. The archives (is also) where we have original documents," Cindy Brightenburg, HBLL reference specialist, said.
Special Collections includes BYU historical archives, first edition copies of The Book of Mormon and even a cuneiform table from 2055 B.C.
"If you are wanting to touch a little bit of the past, you can come and check things out," Maggie Kopp, HBLL curator of rare books, said
Books are not the only thing students can check out.
"We have a production studio that checks out cameras, audio recorders and lights. We have a podcast studio. We have two video studios," Layton said.
There is also a Makerspace on the fourth floor where students can use 3D printers, sewing machines and other creative tools.
"We have pretty much everything here that you would need to create anything," Skye Seamons, HBLL Makerspace lab technician, said.
For help with writing papers, students can go to the Research and Writing Center.
"We just help students at any stage of the process," Hallie Heaton, research consultant, said.
"Sometimes students will come in thinking that I have strict rules … but we try to keep it more open and collaborative," Asha Lambson, writing consultant, said.
From the Makerspace and Special Collections to the Research and Writing Center, the Harold B. Lee Library has so much to offer.
