How do I reserve a study room?

Study rooms and pods are assigned on a first come first served basis. Pre-bookings are made at the librarian's discretion. You must have your physical ID card with you to reserve a room. Outlook calendar reservations should be made by your teacher. Student calendar reservations will be declined.

How do I book an event in the library?

Events and club meetings should be booked via the Outlook calendar system by the faculty sponsor. If you require chair or table setup or have technology needs, please contact maintenance and/or IT at the time of your booking.

Can I game in the library?

The library is for reading, study, group work, and quiet socializing. Gaming is disruptive to others. There are other spaces on campus for you to go if you want to game.

Can I bring food into the library?

Drinks with lids and food from the library cafe are welcome. Food from outside (including the cafeteria and other cafes) should be consumed outside.
