New Quiet Study Space

by

The second floor overlooking the river is now an official “Quiet Study Space.”

This change is in response to student feedback on the survey and in focus groups.

Through these methods, we learned that many students come to the library specifically for quiet study spaces. Responses identified the area overlooking the river (officially called the Reeves-Garner Reading Room) as the preferred place to create our first official quiet study space.

The first floor, third floor bean bag room, and group study rooms are still available for group work and other forms of “unquiet” study.

If you have questions about the new quiet study area, please contact Kate Pitcher, Director of the Library, Archives and Media Center.

Author Ram Devineni, co-creator of the graphic novel Priya’s Shakti, will be speaking about the work on Tuesday, April 12 at 4:30 in Cole Cinema.

Priya’s Shakti is about a mortal woman and a goddess who fight gender-based sexual violence in India and around the world.

The college recently purchased panels of the comic which have been indefinitely installed on the second floor of the Library along the long wall with the window seat across from the last row of Stacks shelves.

Additionally, the comic is an open publication, available to read on the web and downloadable to a number of e-readers.

(BTW: you can totally check out a Kindle for all your beach reading needs. I highly recommend The Martian if you’re going to be doing a lot of flying/spending time in airports, but there are tons of other great titles to choose from on each and every Kindle!)
