"Nice hug library! First time in Auburn, and I always like to visit the University's Library. This building has 3 floors, unless I don't know about a lower level. Lots of space for students to study and available resources. Very nice Library."
"RBD is a great library with great resources, however I have never been around such obnoxious people before. On more than at least 5 different occasions, I have had an issue with people being so loud. Even if you’re on the fourth floor, someone is not going to read the room and just be loud. Even the workers will be loud and get an attitude if you tell them to kindly lower their voices bc then they’ll be like well book a room. RBD needs to def do something about people not knowing how to be quiet. We are too grown to be acting like this in a library. Also the construction is so aggravating, something is always going off if you are in a room. I also do not recommend certain areas on the first floor bc HeyDay Market blasts their music like it’s an atl club.. smh"
"It's a cozy place to study and read. It's very clean, especially in the newer area and the views are quite nice if you want to take a break. It's right in the middle of campus so it's very convenient to go from this building to the next. If you're considering where to study and read in peace, this place would be my recommendation"
"Good place to study; there's a ton of space for group and individual study, but when it's busy it can be hard to find a place for a group. Parking is also an issue when it's busy... The deck is usually full so try to carpool."
"It is good place for study. Every student can borrow 100 books. It is 24 hours open library. The student can go to the writing center to find help for their assignment or report modifying. At night, the escort will accompany you to your apartment or dormitory. I have good memorial in there."
