Study Spaces

Study spaces are available on all three floors of the Library; spaces are progressively quieter with each floor. Tables and various seating options, for group or individual study, are available on a first come, first served basis, and there are many locations with power outlets to charge your devices. There are also standing desks and a computer on a standing workstation if you want to avoid too much sitting.

Study rooms are available on the first and second floors; reservations are strongly encouraged.

Family Study Space

It can be hard to study with kids on board! The Family Study Space in the Youth Collection on the 2nd floor welcomes student parents to study while their children are engaged with books, toys, and educational materials provided in the space. Changing tables are available in the first and second floor restrooms. This area is located behind the elevators and past the CD and Media Collections.
