Study room use is divided into blocks of time based on the open hours of the library. When booking customers book for an entire time slot. Time slots cannot be divided by library staff to adjust to an individual’s needs.

How to Book a Study Room

Study rooms are available on a first come basis and can be booked in person at the library. Reservations for study rooms will not be taken over the phone. To book a study room customers need to provide staff with their name and a piece of ID or library card number. Customers who wish to book a study room should go to the main floor service desk and let a staff member know that they would like to book a study room.

Customers are allowed to have one advanced booking per day. If a customer has booked a study room in advance, they can request the use of an additional time slot once their booking time is finished, if there is availability. Additional bookings are allowed only if rooms are available and may only be made no earlier than 10 minutes before the next time slot begins. Study room use is designed to be rolling throughout the day. Customers cannot book a time slot that precedes a later reservation.

If a study room is available and it is past the start of the time block customers can book the room for the rest of the block of time. If there is one hour or less in the current time slot a customer can book the room for the following time slot if it is free. If there is more than one hour left in the current time slot a customer can use the study room until the end of the current time slot but they cannot book the following time slot until 10 minutes before the next time slot begins.

Forfeiting a Study Room Booking

Failure to show up for your study room within 15 minutes of the start of your booking will forfeit the use of the space. After 15 minutes, from the start of the time slot if the study room is unoccupied, it will be made available for use by another customer.
