While just about the entire building can be used as a place to study, there are some special facilities you’ll want to know about.

  The second floor computer carrels are open and available on a first-come, first-served basis. The carrels are equipped with computers and are networked to printers located at the half-way point along the carrels.

• Deep Quiet Room

  The Deep Quiet room is located in the back left corner of the Reference Room. Strict quiet is enforced here, with no laptops or food allowed. And please remember to turn off your phone.

• Presentation Rooms

  There are two Presentation Rooms available in the library, located on the third floor - one in the back corner of the glassed-in room, just past the row of computers, and one next to the Reading Room.
