McLennan Library Building

Research library in at McGill welcome center. Quiet and plenty of sitting space

Mc gill campus is awesome! The street are clean and beautiful. The architecture is kind of impressive. The library is great, very quiet and free wifi.

Fast internet, quiet studying areas with nice views, and easily accessible from metro.

Excellent place to learn. The Rare Books director gave us a tour and explanation of Dante's 'The Divine Comedy.' Good experience.

I was using the library for the first time since the closure due to COVID-19. Now with the restrictions it is only open to mcgill students and you have to sign up for an appointment online before going.There was lots of space and lots of social distance between study spaces. The environment was very nice and quiet. They seem to be taking very good precautions towards preventing viral spread. A safe environment to study.

In light of COVID the McLennan Library has taken the measures necessary to make sure all McGill students using its resources and the building are safe. Seeing as the city is shut down for the most part, being able to study in a building that isn't a dorm is great. Overall the study environment itself is extremely good for students who need a quiet place to get work done.

Love it. Spatious building. Open to the general public. You don't need to be a McGill student to go there...

Please note that although the service desk is closed on weekends the library is still open to the public to use. Good natural light in some areas with quiet study areas.

Nothing about this place is conducive to studying. The quiet floors are constantly full of LOUD beeping machinery sounds of the bookshelves being moved, people have full on whispering conversations on floors five and six, the security guards are unnecessarily hostile and verbally abusive, you can get thrown out for even eating a granola bar in the wrong location but the only place you are allowed to eat is always full, the elevators never work (accessibility who??), it's full of study rooms that are perpetually locked (and have not once been available on the booking site), it closes at 12 but you get forcibly removed at 11:50 on the dot which every night without fail causes multiple people to get late penalties on assignments, the cafe isn't open on weekends when most people come to study, some outlets on the desks dont work at all, you can get kicked out if you're sitting on the floor which helps a lot of neurodivergent folks study, you can get scolded for putting your head down to rest your eyes for a second by security, i could go on but you get the gist. mclennan is a police state. it's far from accessible. probably the worst possible place to study but mcgill students have to go here because they have no choice

Place is nice. But, I dislike the strict librarians. They didn’t let me use the projector because it’s ‘staff only’, while I see students use it to watch the Olympics, do their projects, or even watch Hockey. Like come on, if you just hate me, say it.
