Study Rooms Increased for 2025-26 School Year
The library has three study rooms, one on the main floor and two on the upper floor.
The study room located on the library’s main floor is Room #209. This room is ideal for individual study or one-on-one meetings in-person or on Zoom. It contains a round table with chairs, as well as a whiteboard.
Study rooms A and B are located on the library’s upper floor and are larger than Room #209. Room A is located directly to the left of the stairs, and Room B is located on the far right side of the stairs between the Children’s Collection and the Mental Health Resource Corner.
Both upper room floors contain a conference table, chairs, and a whiteboard, and are conducive to both group and individual study.
All of the study rooms are available on a first-come, first-serve basis whenever the library is open, but can also be reserved for one-hour, two-hour, or three-hour blocks of time. (If needed longer than one hour, simply make back-to-back reservations.)
