The library has six (6) group study rooms that are available on a first come, first served basis.
Small Group Study
Two of the study rooms are smaller in size and are designed to be used by groups of two (2) - four (4) students. The rooms should be used by a minimum of two students at a time. These two rooms are located next to the Reserve Reading Room, down the hall from the Circulation Desk and are labeled Study Room #1 and Study Room #2.
Medium to Large Group Study
The other four study rooms are larger in size; groups in excess of four should use one of these larger rooms. The larger study rooms are in the following locations:
Room #136 – around the hall from the smaller group study rooms (formerly computer lab #1). This room has a maximum occupancy of 12.
Room #161 & Room #162 – in the Federal Reading Room to the right of the entry point. These rooms have a maximum occupancy of 16.
Multipurpose Room - in the Federal Reading Room to the left of the entry point. This room has a maximum occupancy of 16.
Study rooms may not be reserved for periods of longer than two hours by any one group.
One member of a group may hold a study room for a maximum of 20 minutes. If the group has not assembled after 20 minutes, the person holding the room must surrender the area and another group may occupy the room. Personal belongings should not be left in an unoccupied study room area.
Food and drink are strictly forbidden. Violations of this policy may result in the surrender of the area.
Students may sign-up to reserve rooms at the Circulation Desk. Each member of a group must be listed on the room reservation sign-up sheet. One member from the group must sign the group in and out at their scheduled time.
Study rooms are reserved on a daily basis beginning at 7:00 a.m. Rooms may not be reserved for days in advance. Groups may not sign-up for consecutive time slots under different group members’ names.
