Where can my group work?

Posted on by Christy McDaniel

At the end of the quarter, the library is full of students looking to finish a project with their classmates or study for a final. If you know you will need a space to work with your classmates, consider planning ahead and booking a study room in the library. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to do this:

1. Go to the library home page and click “Reserve a space.”
