Room Reservations / Bookings

Group Study Rooms

Library surveys revealed students’ need for more reservable group study space. In response, Group Study Rooms B, C, & F are now reservable for group projects. Feedback also revealed a need for a single occupant study room, and Group Study Rooms B and F are now available for single use as well as group work. 

As there is high demand for a limited number of group study rooms, reservations may be monitored for appropriate academic use. Reservation/room use privileges may be modified at the discretion of library staff. Group study rooms are intended for collaborative group study work and are not intended for regularly scheduled seminars, classes, club meetings, or other extra-curricular activities.

  • To reserve a group study, please go to the main desk on the first floor of the library. Rooms can also be booked online. 
  • If a group study is vacant, go to the main desk to check out a room key — your group may use the room for up to 4 hours or until the next reservation, whichever occurs first.
  • If you finish using a group study ahead of your scheduled time, please bring the room key to the main desk so that others may use the room.
