Quiet Study & Group Study in Boatwright Library

Please note that QUIET STUDY is designated for the 2nd floor in Boatwright. If study groups need to talk, they should meet on the first floor or ask for a group study room at the Main Service Desk. Librarians cannot “police” all conversations, so we encourage students to alert library staff at the Main Service Desk if students are talking on the second floor and we will remind them to remain quiet. We also hope students will encourage one another to respect quiet space in the library. Cell phone conversations should take place in front of the coffee shop or on the patio outside the library. Thank you for your cooperation!

Student Message Board in Boatwright

Use the new message board in Boatwright Library to communicate with your study groups or study partner. The message kiosk is located next the elevator on the first floor of the library. You can use magnets to post paper notes or use the whiteboard. Please do not stand in the Main Service Desk area to meet other students. Thanks for your cooperation!
