We strive to provide a welcoming study environment for all types of library users. Use the stoplight symbols throughout the building to find your ideal study space.
If you find your neighbors are being too loud for the space, we encourage you to politely ask them to lower their volume. If you are uncomfortable or your neighbors are still being too loud, contact us and we can come remind them of appropriate noise levels.
