If you have already reserved a study room time slot, you must wait until your slot begins or cancel the slot before the software will allow you to reserve another. If rooms are available, you are welcome to reserve another time slot. Keep in mind that it’s possible that all the rooms will be in use and a second session may not be available to you. If a second session is available, it may be in a different room than the first.
Alternatively, if all of the study rooms are reserved, there is a quiet individual study area on the 3rd floor of the library.
Please remember that our study rooms are a privilege that many public libraries do not have. We try our best to accommodate as many patrons as we can every day. We want everyone to have a fair chance at using a room and these rules are in place to help ensure that!
