Reviews of UAS Egan Library (Library)

This library is usually awesome, but the staff does not enforce the rules. There are often people answering phone calls, talking loudly (even the librarians), eating, and generally being disruptive. Generally not too bad, but you get the occasional person who is oblivious and self centered. Today there is an incredibly loud get together for highschool students going on in the main area, complete with some lady singing into A microphone, kids running around, playing tag, and being very disruptive. I realize this is a public library but it's also a university library and I pay a lot of money to go to school here. Myself and many other students expect a quit study area and are disappointed when UAS fails to enforce their own rules and allows a gathering of this sort IN A LIBRARY of all places. I wish I could attach an audio file of the noise, it is ridiculous.

One of the most beautiful libraries in Alaska! And a great selection/helpful staff, too.

I work in this beautiful library on the Juneau campus of the University of Alaska Southeast and I'd like to address the complaint from the one star review about noise. Our event space in the library is the only place on campus for large events. This results in a couple of special events taking place each year in the library during open hours. The event described above was the "Be the Change Youth Conference" a one day youth leadership event organized by local teens, held on campus during UAS's Spring Break. We have sound dampened study rooms and two conference rooms students can reserve if they need an extra quiet study space. We also post notices in advance of events so students can make other arrangements on these rare occations where the library is noisier than usual. I'm very sorry this student had such a disappointing experience. We will do our best in the future to maintain a welcoming environment for all.
