Purpose of Study Rooms: 

To provide a quiet area for individuals and small groups to study and meet. Unlike the Meeting Rooms, which can be booked a year in advance and require that a form be filled out, the booking process for the two study rooms is short & informal to provide quicker access.

How to Reserve:

In person at the Reference Desk, or by telephone at 757-727-1312. Because of public demand, we can not guarantee a specific room.

How Far in Advance:   

We take reservations up to 30 days in advance.  Example:  If the current date is June 23rd, a room can be booked from June 23rd to July 23rd.

Length of Reservation:

1. Up to two hours.  Reservations longer than 2 hours must be approved by the Branch Manager or Library Director.
2. Only one reservation per day per person or group.  Individuals within a group may not extend the time by booking separate reservations under their names.
3. Tutors: If you are tutoring several students separately, make reservations under each student’s name.

Maximum Number of People: 

Eight. There is room for only eight chairs around the table in each room.

Room Set Up: 

Each room is small with a glass front. It includes one long table with eight chairs. There is also a whiteboard mounted on the wall. An eraser and whiteboard markers are available at the reference desk.

Reserving both rooms: 

Reservations of both rooms at the same time must be done through the Branch Manager or the Library Director.
