Purpose

The libraries believe that our small group study rooms should be clean, safe, and available to everyone in our college community.  This policy is designed to ensure equitable and fair access to library study rooms for students and staff.

Five study rooms are available in the Fort Steilacoom library and three study rooms are available in the Puyallup library for groups of students, faculty, or staff to gather and work together. Study room reservations and check out may be done at the library's circulation counter.
