The library provides group study rooms that are available for groups (2-3 students) who wish to work collaboratively on assignments, projects, and/or study together:
- Group Study Rooms can be reserved online via the library’s homepage or in person at the Library Service Desk. Rooms are available on a first come, first served basis and can be utilized for up to two hours per person per day. Reservations can be made up to two weeks in advance.
- Study rooms are to be utilized by GCC students. Reservations will be held for ONLY fifteen minutes after their reserved time. After fifteen minutes the reservation will be cancelled and the study room will be considered open and available.
- Prior to utilizing a study room the student who booked the room must check out a barcoded key pass at the library service desk and there must be at least one other group member present. This key pass will grant access to a study room and key to unlock the door. No keys will be issued without at least two group members being present with one of them being the room booker.
- Once a reservation is complete the study room door must be locked and the pass returned upon leaving. If the pass is not returned, a hold/fine will be placed on the group member’s account.
- White board markers and erasers are available upon request. When exiting a group study room all borrowed items must be returned to the library service desk.
- Food is not permitted in group study rooms. Beverages must be in closed containers. Users must leave study rooms in clean condition.
