The Goldstein Atmosphere

The #5 (and Final, and Best) Reason to Visit The Goldstein Library This Fall:

Are you searching around campus for the absolute best that FSU has to offer? A hidden gem for studying, a place where all bad karma is erased, where there are comfy couches and schwinging tables, a place where Jim Morrison used to study when he was an FSU student (see shady photo evidence to the right...), a place where you can draw on the tables, eat your lunch, and watch movies on a big TV? Well look no further: the Goldstein is here.


Let's break this down further and discuss why the Goldstein has such an epic atmosphere:
 


1. The Staff 
Here at the Goldstein, we pride ourselves on being the friendliest staff around. Look: it even says so on our sign. And look at how friendly (and awesome!) one of our staff members, Mackenzie, looks here:
He's ready to serve and protect.
The arrows prove our friendliness.




2. The Study Areas
Sure, there are tons of great places to study on campus. But they are often full, noisy, cramped, etc.

At the Goldstein, there's always a nice place to study. Take, for example, the little-known Alcove in the back of our library. It is equipped with two sofa-benches, two desks, lamps, and plugs, and it is always looking for company:



or how about our fabulous whiteboard tables -- need to work out a math problem, to take a study break and draw, to doodle, or to show a group your work -- try them out!

Fun doodles!

 






3. The Ambiance 
We're always trying to improve the ambiance here at the Goldstein through great displays, fun posters, cool people, and awesome events. Here is some photo evidence of our ambiance:
