The Martin Luther King, Jr. Library was a joint project between San Jose State University and the City of San Jose. It's a 7 or 8 story library which serves both as a public library and also a university library. It's state of the art with live internet ports that you can plug your laptop into and surf the web and plentiful tables to settle down and study at. Some nice touches for students is that you can check out laptops to use while you're there if you don't have one of your own. For me it was an environment that was conducive to studying or writing papers. Nice views on the higher floors and comfortable chairs to sit in and read.
