Study Room Policy
- Requests for study rooms should be made at the Circulation Desk on the main floor of the Library. They are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations, whether by phone or in person, are not accepted.
- Individuals requesting a study room must be at least 14 years of age. The individual initiating the request must be present during the period of usage.

- Preference is given to groups of two or more for studying or work-related purposes. Individuals may use the rooms if available.
- Study rooms are scheduled in two-hour blocks. Sessions may be extended if there is no waitlist. Once their time expires, all patrons in the room must wait two hours before requesting the use of a room again. The Library reserves the right to shorten the blocks to one hour during heavy usage.
- Study rooms close 15 minutes before the Library closes.
- If the patron leaves the premises, they must turn in the key and relinquish the room. If a room is available upon their return, they may request it.

Behavior
- Users of the study rooms are responsible for keeping the rooms neat and orderly. Failure to do so may result in the denial of future requests.

- Rooms must remain unlocked and are not to be used for any inappropriate or sexual behavior.
- The following uses are expressly prohibited in the Library study rooms: buying, selling, advertising, or trading products or services (for example, if you are a paid consultant or charging someone for their time or for providing a service).
