The purpose of this policy is to clarify special usage of spaces throughout the library. This policy excludes the use of the Meeting Room, Conference Room, and Children’s Program Room.
Small Group Study Rooms: The Library offers 2 quiet study rooms upstairs for use during regular library hours.
Study Room A: This room seats a maximum of 4 people and is available by reservation. The room may be reserved for up to two hours at a time. Reservations may be extended in 60 minute increments, at the discretion of the Adult Services staff, if the room is not reserved by another patron.
Study Room B: There are two desks with two chairs each in this room that seats a maximum of 4 people and is available by reservation. The room may be reserved for up to two hours at a time. Reservations may be extended in 60 minute increments, at the discretion of the Adult Services staff, if the room is not reserved by another patron.
Reservations for the study rooms are maintained by the Adult Services Department. Reservations for either room will be held for ten minutes past the requested time, at which point they will be canceled. Patrons are required to check in at the Adult Services desk upon arrival. Groups can only have three reservations on the calendar at one time, and may only reserve the room up to one month in advance.
Silent Study Area: This area is located on the second floor of the library and is open for use without reservations. This area is intended to be a silent, focused environment for deep and uninterrupted study. Patrons in this space should refrain from making noise that may distract others in the space. This includes, but is not limited to, talking, using a cell phone, rustling papers, or participating in activities at a noise level that disturbs other patrons and must use headphones when using sound on a device.
Teen and Adult Program Room: This room is located on the second floor of the library. When the room is not in use for a scheduled program, it may be used as an open study space on a first-come, first-served basis. Outside groups may not request use of this room.
Teen Room: Anyone is welcome to browse the collection, borrow materials, or accompany a teen in the room. However, work and study spaces as well as equipment within the Teen Room are reserved for youth going into grades 6 through high school only.
Children’s Room: Anyone is welcome to browse the collection, borrow materials, or accompany a child in the room. However, work and study spaces, equipment, toys, and seating within the Children’s Room are reserved for children and their caregivers only.
Kitchenette: The kitchenette is only available for use by groups using the Conference Room or Meeting Room during their meeting. The appliances within the room are not available for use by the general public.
