If you have used a study room for two hours and no one has requested the room, you may continue to use the room until we receive a request or you reach your six hour weekly limit.
When you have finished your session, please notify staff so that we may note your time of departure and issue the room to another patron.
Each study room includes a table or desk and chairs. Some rooms also include whiteboards. Please check with individual branches for availability.
Whiteboard erasers and markers may be available for check out at service desks. You must return whiteboard supplies when you check out of the room. Please use only dry erase markers on whiteboards.
