Desks

The library provides ample amounts of comfortable study space. However, should you require a personal desk where you can leave research materials for the semester, you may reserve a desk with the Circulation Supervisor. Desks are assigned between the hours of 8:30am and 4:30pm Monday through Friday on a first-come, first-served basis. Seniors have priority.

Located on the 1st Floor, the e-Classroom is a fully-networked and wireless-enabled computer lab with 18 desktop stations, an instructor's station, an LCD projector, and SmartBoard. Please contact Ann Watson if you would like to reserve this room.
