The University Library supports participation in online classes in some of our designated study spaces. While not available in all campus libraries, Zoom-friendly spaces are available in some study rooms and areas where conversations are traditionally permitted. Headphones are required, and users are encouraged to bring their own devices to participate in class. Additionally, all libraries currently require mask-wearing at all times.
Zoom-friendly spaces are listed below by volume level.
