Study Room FAQ

Whether the study room reservation is under your library card or the other individual(s) using the room with you, any individuals present in the room during the use period is considered to have used their allotment for the day. This policy is in place to be equitable and to prevent any one individual or group from monopolizing the study room all day. For example, say a group of six individuals, each with their own library card was allowed to book the room consecutively for two hours, under each card, they would be allowed to book the room for the entire day (which monopolizes use and does not allow equitable access to other community members).
