Literally, of course - Doheny Library in the Reflecting Pool. But also figuratively ... Doheny is the undergraduate library, which means that it's more full of Study Pods than books - that is, lots of sofas where students can fall comfortably and soundly asleep. Like most of USC's libraries, its actual book supply is ... limited. I go in there periodically to pick up books that I've requested from the Grand Depository. It was a day of sad disillusionment when I realised, belatedly, that the Grand here did not signify something magnificent, like the Library of Celsus at Ephesus before it burnt to the ground in 262 CE - rather, it's some warehouse on Grand Street.
