Group Study Room
As Finals Week approaches, so does the need for a group study space. The library has a Group Study Room for students to use. Ask at the Information Desk to reserve a time...or, use it on a first come, first served basis.
The Group Study Room comes equipped with a large meeting table and cushy chairs, television, VCR/DVD player, and general library ambiance...it doesn't get any better than that!
Can't find it? Ask at the Information Desk!

Steppin’ into "The Silent Zone"
The 3rd floor of the library is now The Silent Zone. Take advantage of this area to study in silence, read a book, or head up there just to chill.
In honor of this renaming, we offer you a few “Rules of the Road.”
Do’s: mime, headphones (only YOU should be able to hear the music), cell phones on vibrate/silence, enjoy the silence…
Don’ts: cell phone rings or conversations (take the call to the 2nd floor or outside the library), talking, whispering, music anyone else can hear, whistling, singing, and, last but not least…snoring.
Report noise by using the campus phone next to the restrooms on the 3rd floor. A library staff member will respond as soon as possible.
