Reid Library

Excellent environments to study in. Plenty of seats, spacious enough with power everywhere. Taking away one star is for the poor internet connection.

Great library to study in and or relax during the day. Food and coffee downstairs wasn't too bad. The downstairs area in general was very noisy as it is a group work area, so if you are looking for some peace and quiet, i don't recommend as it is usually swarming. Real fast wireless internet speeds, which was nice. The upper areas are a bit better as it is nice and quiet and if you are doing post-grad you have access to separate closed off rooms, only accessible by card. Some of the demographic here can be quite annoying, loud etc. but there is nothing that UWA can do about that. All in all, one of the better places at UWA

A great library overall!! I have stayed many nights here to prepare my exams and reports. I love all the ducks outside of the library! They are so lovely and always make me a good day!

Beautiful library - sometimes the chatter on level one gets a bit insane but if you're looking for quiet/silent areas the higher floors have that

Honestly an absolute perfection. While the design of the ground floor clearly prioritises the look over comfort, it is still a great place to socialise, while the upper floors off spectacular places to study, and are just awesome conceptually.

The building is a bit old and it doesn't seem like the desks are cleaned properly as it has dust on them and the toilets are old as well.. But the ground floor toilets are way cleaner! Though its a bit too loud to study on ground floor and the tables are always full of students and dirty from food/ oil stains. But the 2nd and 3rd floor are a nice place to study

Architecturally, Reid Library is a wonderful space in which to study. Unfortunately, as it stands today it is more a glorified Internet cafe and social club than a library. Expect to see more empty pizza boxes than books, more baristas than librarians and more socialising than study. It really doesn’t offer much beyond what your local coffee shop with free wifi and a good pair of noise cancelling headphones does.One can only hope that UWA one day decides to return to the illustrious institution of study it once was.Update 2023: congratulations, UWA -- Reid Library now has more surveillance cameras than books. If you're a fan of having a camera 3 feet from your face at any given point in time, Reid Library is for you! The hastily-added cameras only serve to further diminish Reid's architectural stature through UWA's ineptitude. The Library's gradual conversion to a 24 hour lab is almost complete, leaving all the other 24 hour labs unloved and unused. Perhaps they should move the books to the old labs?

Reid Library is a pretty good library, though not the best on campus. Most of the seats at Reid are really dirty, which makes me really uncomfortable for me to sit on. Some of the workspaces on the first floor are also quite nasty, though the third floor at the top is much cleaner and way quieter. The internet here isn't the best, and can sometimes be excruciatingly slow during busy hours. Third floor is the best place to lots of study, whilst first floor is better for doing shorter amounts work.

Nice space. Also has cafe within library – which is open late and sells good coffee and ok food for tired brains.

Beautiful library with terraces facing a big lawns. It last also open to public for study.
