Reserve Procedure -
- Students may reserve Group Study Rooms in advance at the Front Desk or by calling 231-2050.
- Only one reservation may be made at time.
- Other students may use the reserved room on a first come, first served basis up until the time reserved.
- Groups without reservations may not displace current users of a study room, even single users. However they may reserve an "under-occupied" room – one occupied by less than half of its seating, effective 15 minutes after completion of the reservation.
- In the case of reserving an "under-occupied" room, the librarian will, at his or her convenience, choose the most appropriate room and place a reservation notice in its window. After posting the reservation notice, the occupant(s) will have 15 minutes to vacate the room.
Prohibited Use -
In order to ensure adequate student access to the Thrift Library’s group study facilities, reservations will be accepted solely for study groups unless granted special permission by the Library Director.

Open Use Policy -
While the Group Study Room “Reservation” Policy is purposely restrictive, its “Open Use Policy” is not. Simply stated, “Unreserved rooms may be used on a first come, first served basis.”
NOTE -
- All study rooms are left unlocked and are available on a first come, first serve basis - unless they have been reserved.
- Users must comply with all library and university rules.
