On most college campuses, the library is usually the pinnacle of the campus. That’s one of the first places prospective students are taken in a tour of campus. I have never seen a tour group go into Middleton. The place is outdated, and if I’m being honest, nasty as frick. Does LSU have the worst library in the SEC? And why haven’t they just renovated or built a new one yet?

It’s not like your average LSU student uses the library anyway

It’s not even about the books, it’s about having a place to go and study. The place looks, smells, and feels like shite

The good news is that they shouldn't have to go through the controversy or renaming it. They're just gonna knock it down.

Undergrad at MSU, Grad at LSU here. Mississippi State's library is on a different planet than Middleton. And that was before they were designated a Presidential Library. There are two things that MSU is better than LSU in. Libraries and growing grass.

MSU arbitrarily co-opting the US Grant Presidential Library is like Dig'Ems calling themselves the "Official Breakfast Food" of John the Baptist.

I'd rather have every building at LSU look like the Middleton Library than have to personally spend a semester in Starkturdvania.
