Public Meeting Rooms
There are 3 meeting rooms of different sizes for public use. Rooms are available on a first come, first serve basis.
Private Study Rooms
We have 4 private study rooms available for patrons needing quiet study space. Study rooms can be checked out for one hour, and can seat a maximum of two people. The study rooms support ethernet or wireless internet connections for properly equipped laptops. Study Room Number 4 has an electric typewriter. Study room occupancy is limited to not more than two people, and fire regulations prohibit moving the furniture.
Study rooms may be checked out for one hour at the 2nd floor Service Desk. If no one is waiting for a room, the occupant(s) may remain in the room until it is needed.
