Study and Media Rooms

Four study rooms and a media viewing room are available. The rooms are enhanced with plug-and-play screen technology. The tables contain outlets and four HDMI plugs so laptops and other devices can plug into the HD wide-screen display. In addition, the media viewing room is equipped with a DVD player and a VCR (for viewing VHS).

Several HDMI adapters ("dongles") and whiteboard markers are available for checkout at the Circulation Desk.

Reservations are required to use the study rooms and the media viewing room.
