Study
Room Use
• Group
vs. Individual Use: The library’s study rooms are primarily for the use of
two or more persons [a “group”] who must converse with
one another. Generally, a group’s need for study room space
will take precedence over an individual’s need. Single
users of a study room may be asked to give up the room before
their session expires if it is needed for a group.
• Booking a Room: Use of a study room must be arranged at
the library’s Main Desk. Generally, study rooms may be used
only as they become available and on a “first-come-first-served”
basis. A waiting list will be kept if both rooms are occupied. Advance
reservations are restricted to the following: Patrons may reserve
a study room on the same day during which they wish to use the room.
However, each patron, whether singly or as part of a group, will
be limited to one such advance reservation each week.
• Time Limits: Study rooms may be used for two hours between
9:00 a.m. [or when the library opens] and 3:00 p.m. and for a one
hour between 3:00 p.m. and closing time. The length of these sessions
may be extended if no other patrons are waiting to use a room.
• Room Capacities: Study Room A may be used by up to six persons
at a time. Study Room B may be used by up to four persons at a time.
• IDs and Signatures Required: All individuals who use a study
room, whether singly or as part of a group, must both leave a personal
ID at the Main Desk and sign this form. This must be done each time
a room is used. Failure to do so will result in dismissal of the
individual or group from the room.
• Rules of Behavior: Those using study rooms must comply with
all rules of behavior as set forth in the Library Board’s
statement of Policies Governing Behavior in the Library. [Copies
of this policy statement are available from all public service desks.]
Persons found eating or drinking, littering, engaging in loud, disruptive
conversation or conduct, defacing library property, or otherwise
acting inappropriately and/or irresponsibly while using a study
room will be required to leave the room and the library immediately.
• Sale of Goods/Services Prohibited: Library study rooms may
not be used to distribute or sell goods or services of any kind,
including—but not limited to— paid tutoring services.
