Get A Room...A Study Room!

The library study rooms are now always unlocked and ready for students to wander in and use whenever the library is open. If you want to use one of the rooms then gather a study group and come to the library or visit one of our quiet rooms if you are alone and want to review your notes before class.


The library has six group study rooms for students to come and use together. If you are alone we also have two quiet rooms where individuals can work alone in a quiet setting. Half of the rooms have padded chairs with movable desk tops, while the other  half have a large table with chairs around it.

The rooms are equipped with plugs for your electronic devices, a white board to work out your thought processes on, and a monitor you can hook into if you want to display your power point or any other image on a larger screen.


So come to the library and get a room...A Study Room!
