I used to go and work at our City's Cathedral library: access was free to students, it was in an awesome building about 700 years old and most importantly didn't have WiFi so there was no distraction :)

It was also cold - I find most libraries to be warm and stuffy which makes me drowsy and unable to concentrate.

Originally libraries were cold because fire and books don't mix well, and they needed massive windows because fire was the only other way to light them.
