Lied Library is so busy. Isn't there any place where I can find a quiet place to study?

Yes!
Libraries today are dynamic places. They also serve as places of retreat and reflection. UNLV University Libraries attempt to balance these needs through use of a “zoned” noise model with different noise level expectations - with some areas allowing group/collaborative study and other areas designated for quiet study.
Quiet Study: Extended study (1st), Books stacks (3rd & 4th), Glass enclosed reading rooms above atrium (3rd & 4th)
- Ideal for individual study
- Includes "quiet computing" areas.
- No groups or on-going discussion
- Occasional, quiet conversation only
- Phones must be switched to silent at all times
Open Study: Media viewing (1st), Computers (1st & 2nd), Charging Counters/Booths (2nd), Leisure Area (2nd), Unenclosed areas (3rd & 4th)
- Suitable for individual or small group study
- Includes open computing and media viewing areas
- Conversation at levels appropriate for an academic environment
Collaborative Study: Booths (1st), Group Study (2nd), Overlook (5th)
- Designed with furniture and tools for collaborative group work
- Active areas, not ideal for individual, reflective study
- Conversation at levels appropriate for an academic environment
Group Rooms & Alcoves: Available across all floors
- Intended exclusively for group work
- Reservations for 1st floor Group Rooms
- Individuals/pairs will be asked to relocate in favor of a group
- Conversation at levels appropriate for an academic environment
- Rooms are not soundproof!
