Study Space Policy

Our library locations offer a variety of study spaces and meeting rooms.

Groups looking for a space to study together may use the open study spaces or group study rooms.

Individuals may use any open study spaces or the small quiet booths.

JMU faculty who would like to bring their class to the library for library instruction are encouraged to contact a Liaison Librarian.

Open Study Space

JMU Libraries offers a range of open study spaces—including work tables, cubbies, reading rooms, and lounge areas with couches and chairs—in all our library locations. Please respect any posted “Quiet Study” signs in our Quiet Study Spaces.

Group Study Rooms

First-come first-served group study rooms are available in Carrier Library and Rose Library for two or more people. Additionally, selected group study rooms may be reserved by JMU faculty, students, and staff. Visit Group Study Rooms to check availability and make a reservation.
