This is the work of art that is featured on the central staircase, a beautiful mural that has images of important events, people, and ideas throughout world history.  Up these staircases is the library collection, a catalogue of literally, one-million books.
The library has excellent computing resources, and this room is just one of many more filled with computers.  These machines come packed with Microsoft office and are all linked to a printer, so whenever I am under a tight deadline I can get on one and print out what I need.  I am a history major, and so I can access a many databases here to do my research.  Trinity has access to dozens of such databases, and they can be accessed at any time from these terminals.   
Believe it or not, Coates library has its own Kinko's inside.  They can process your order quickly and you can have your documents ready in a few minutes -- something that makes this Kinko's different than all of the others.  As a finance major, I have had to make many professional looking documents, and this is the best place to do it.  You  can even e-mail your documents in to them, and then stop by and pick them up later.    



Check this out:  the library also has a coffee shop inside.  Here you can order your favorite drinks, including: coffee, hot chocolate, soda, juice, smoothies, tea, and bottled water.  If you have a snack attack, then you can order sushi, bagels, or desserts. 

Java City, as it is known, functions mainly as a meeting place for students.  I have had dozens of projects where I have met with group members here, and every time it proves to be fun, sociable place to have some good conversations.
