group study rooms

Small study rooms are available to groups that need a place to work on projects, engage in small meetings, or hold group study sessions. Individual patrons may use the rooms; however, preference is given to groups. Library staff may request that persons using these rooms not exceed a reasonable level of noise.


Patrons may make reservations for the use of a group study room in person or by phone one day in advance for a maximum of two hours per day. Reservations will be held for 10 minutes, after which the entire period reserved will be forfeited. If no other group is waiting to use the room, the current users may continue over the two-hour limit. Patrons may be required to leave their library cards or other forms of I.D. at the reference desk while using these rooms. Lights are to remain on in the rooms during all times that they are in use. Food and drink, except for beverages in covered containers, are not allowed in these rooms. Conducting of business between two or more persons (including but not limited to sales, interviews, and tutoring) is prohibited on library property. Patrons who fail to follow library rules may lose future study room privileges.
