Computers and quiet study space are in high demand in all libraries at the moment. Please respect everyone’s academic needs during this period of quiet study time.

If you are studying in the Harriet Irving Library, keep in mind that the Milham Room (Room 100), Room 310, and the study carrels on the 4th floor are the quietest areas in the building.

Need assistance finding a quiet space? Check with the research desks in any of our libraries.
