Study Rooms Policy

• Keys are available for check out at the Circulation Desk.
  • Note: If you are using a large group room, you must have multiple people present to check out the key.
• To reserve a study room, patrons must have a valid Mustangs ID number. A photo ID may be requested at time of check out.
• Only current MSU students, faculty, or staff are able to reserve a study room. Other reservations will be canceled.
• Patrons must reserve study rooms under their own names and with a single email address.
• Study rooms must be reserved using the reservation system prior to use and can be reserved 7 days in advance.
• One room can be reserved by 30-minute blocks with a maximum of 8 blocks (4 hours) per person, per day allowed. Only one room at a time may be checked out per patron.
  • Renewals are allowed (except during final exams). Please bring the room key to the circulation desk before the end of your 4-hour block to renew for more time.
• When a room is reserved, users will receive an email to confirm the booking (sent to the email entered on the form). Reservations that are not confirmed within 3 hours will be canceled. 
  • If you do not receive this email, please call the Circulation Desk at 940-397-4753.
• During periods of high demand, reservations for the day may be forfeited if keys are not checked out within 15 minutes after the reservation start time.
• You may cancel your booking at any time up to the start time of the reservation. Follow the link in your booking's confirmation email to cancel.

Note: To maintain fairness for all patrons, please vacate the study room and return the key promptly at the end of your 4-hour reservation. Refusal to do so may result in the loss of study room privileges.

• Do not leave any of your belongings unattended. The library is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to personal property.
• Patrons must be present in the study room with no absence exceeding 15 minutes. Absences over 15 minutes may lead to forfeiture of the reservation.
• Be courteous in regard to noise levels; the rooms are not soundproof. Individuals and groups that are excessively noisy and disturb others may be asked to vacate the study rooms.
• The windows and doors in the study rooms may not be locked, blocked, or covered. 
• Study room doors must be locked at the end of each reservation.
• Drinks with lids and individual snacks are allowed. Meals, lunches, and other food should be eaten outside of the library. Please clean up afterwards.
• Study rooms should be left in the same or better condition than they were found. 
• Do not move furniture other than chairs.
• Report equipment problems to library staff.
• Study rooms must be vacated 5 minutes before library close. Announcements will be made as a reminder.

Patrons that do not follow these rules will be given one verbal warning to clarify the policy and expectations. Failure to comply following a verbal warning may result in all users in the room being asked to vacate the study room, and may result in forfeiture of future use of the rooms. If the room is damaged during use, the person listed on the reservation will be responsible and billed for damages.

By reserving the room, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions. These rules are subject to change at any time.
