University of Southern Maine

There are a number of group study rooms at USM Libraries. Each room is a privately enclosed space, allowing for groups to work together without disturbing other library patrons. Library patrons can use any of these rooms to study in groups or to work collaboratively on projects.

Reservations Reservations for some of the group study rooms are made on the paper calendars hanging outside each room. Simply write your name on the calendar in the boxes that indicate when you want the room. Note the policies below for how long you can reserve a room.

Policies & Practices

• Reservations are limited to 5 hours total per person per week. If a group wants the same room longer than that, another individual from that group must make the reservation.
• A group that is more than 15 minutes late forfeits the reservation.
• Although the group study room is a more private space, sound can leak through the walls. Please keep the noise down so as not to disturb others.
• Food and/or drink are allowed provided that the food or drink are not messy. Clean up the room before you leave so that it is ready for the next group.
• These rooms are self service. Library staff will not sign up for the rooms, this is up to the individual.
