Need to study? Many options!
First Floor:
This is the place to be if you like to have casual conversations while you work, or to work together with friends on projects.
Cell phones are okay, but please be courteous.
Lively study areas - 1st floor Info Commons
Second Floor:
The Reference Area and the Reading Area on 2d Floor North are quieter zones. Folks try to keep their conversations to a minimum, but expect there to be extraneous noise due to normal library operations.
Individual reading area - 2d floor (back of reference)
When not being used for classes, the computers in 2050 can be used for focused computer use. Because it's a concentrated area, please keep conversations minimal.
Room 2050
The Library Teaching Center on the 2d floor has lots of portable white boards and is a great spot for groups to study and work on projects together.

The bridge area on the 2d floor is another good spot for group study and light conversation.
Third Floor:
This is the Quiet Zone. If you want a quiet space to work or study alone, head to the 3rd floor south. During regular semester hours, we also open up the Special Collections Room for super quiet individual study.

The group study rooms are also on 3d floor south, so please keep your voices down as you walk to the group study rooms.

Texting on your phone while in the library is fine, but please take your phone conversations outside. Cell phones are allowed on the first floor, please be courteous.
Note: SSU students are our top priority, so they get first priority to the computers. Some areas may not be available at all hours or for non SSU students to use.
