Library Quiet Space

Quiet Study in Kirk Reading Room

The Library has experienced a significant increase in use early in the new academic year. This is at least partly attributable to a crowded campus and students seeking a conducive, that is to say, quiet place to work.

Accordingly we have designated the Kirk Reading Room (North end of the 1st floor) as a full-time Quiet Room.  Here researchers can place a thick set of double doors between themselves and the inevitable traffic noise and conversation of the wider public spaces.

The library will monitor use and solicit comment during the year.  Please pass along your own or your students' thoughts/comments using the link below, or contact Associate Director Mark Colvson (x2193).
