The Science Library in the main building is a much more aesthetic choice though. The upstairs floor is like something out of Harry Potter with its old bookshelves filled with equally old looking books. It has high marble looking walls and a massive window at the end which lets in lots of natural light. The perfect place to get lost in a book. It also helps that this floor is patrolled by staff which keeps it silent.
