The Library's Many Carols

Study Carrels

The Library is a great place to read, study, and relax. Study rooms can be reserved at the circulation desk or reference desk. Long tables, couches, comfy chairs, and window seats all provide the perfect place to catch up on your reading or flip through a magazine. Study carrels are private desks with electrical outlets, lamps, and plenty of space to spread out textbooks, laptops, and more.

Carol Nelson, Librarian

When Carol Nelson teaches a class about the Library, she tells students, “I’m a person on campus who wants you to earn a good grade.  My job is to teach every student to find, evaluate and paraphrase information as part of a research paper.”

When you start an assignment, make a 15-minute visit to the reference desk and let Carol or another librarian help you with topic selection and sources.  Make friends with the reference librarians, who are here to help you earn a good grade.
