Study carrels are small desks placed throughout the library. You may have seen them in your visits to the library — they are typically arranged along the sides of each stacks level. In our library we have 182 carrels. If unoccupied, these carrels are free to use for all library patrons. Traditionally, Seniors can reserve their own specific carrel to use throughout the academic year.
Seniors who are assigned a carrel are allowed to leave study items at the desk. While this makes carrels especially popular with students who plan to work on a thesis or independent study project, this is not required to be eligible for carrel choosing.
Carrels can be used anytime the library is open.
