Need a quiet place to study or to take a Zoom meeting or business call? We’ve got you covered. Our recently refurbished private study room is open for business. For more information, see the guidelines for use, below, or call our Reference Desk at 203-637-1066, x22.
Guidelines for Use
- Patrons must be 18 or older.
- Patrons must be registered users in the library’s patron database. If a patron has a CT library card, he/she/they can be registered in our system and then sign up to use the room. If the patron does not have a library card from a CT library but lives in CT, he/she/they must get one before using the study room. Non-residents should use one of the study tables in the stacks or Waid Room.
- 1 patron may use the room for 1 hour; a second hour is allowed if no one is waiting.
- Max of 2 hours/day, twice a week/patron (may be overridden by on-duty reference librarian on a case-by-case basis).
- There is a 15-minute grace period unless the patron calls to let us know he/she/they are running late. Rescheduling may or may not be possible.
