Reserve

Room use

Study Rooms and Studios are reserved for use by current students, faculty, and staff.

All use of rooms requires a reservation. Individuals studying alone should reserve the room with the smallest occupancy available. Likewise with groups. If you are a group of 2 please do not reserve a 6 person room unless nothing else is available.

COVID-19: All rooms must be vacated 30 minutes before the next reservation arrives. Please be ready to leave the room when your scheduled time is up. There is a 30-minute padding between the end of a reservation and the start of a new reservation. There is a limit of 2 hours per day. Please check the reservation grid to see what rooms are available.

Please be respectful of those around you. While group rooms are isolated, loud noises will travel and may disturb others.

Please be respectful of the rooms. Clean up after yourself, including putting furniture back where you got it. Please do not unplug any of the cords to the computer or screens.

Refer to the full guidelines for group room use at each library.
