Study Room Policy

There are two private study rooms available free of charge for public use at Civic Center Library, and one study room available free of charge for public use at Sam Garcia Western Avenue Library. A table and up to four chairs are provided in each of the rooms. All rooms are equipped with electric outlets for using laptops or other electronic devices. Free wireless Internet is also available.

The following rules are intended to ensure that these rooms are available to all members of our community and that they are used for their intended purposes.

• Study rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Reserved rooms are held for 15 minutes past their reserved time and then become available to other patrons.
• Study rooms are available during Library hours up until ten minutes before closing.
• A maximum of four people are allowed in a study room at one time.
• In order to use a study room, patrons must first check-in at the Library Service Desk.
• Fees or payments may not be charged by individuals or groups using the study rooms for business.
• Study rooms may be used for a maximum of 2 hours daily by an individual or group. However, patrons may continue to use a study room past their 2 hour limit, providing no one has a reservation or is in need of the room.
• Snacks and un-covered beverage containers are not permitted in the study rooms.
• Use of all tobacco products and alcohol is prohibited in the Study Rooms.
• Persons using the study rooms are subject to the Avondale Public Library Behavior Policy. Anyone not abiding by the policy will be ejected from the study rooms or the library depending on behavior.
• Library staff is not responsible for any items left unattended in the study rooms. Please keep your belongings with you at all times. Items left behind will be disposed of according to the Avondale Public Library Lost and Found Policy.

In addition to the smaller study rooms, both Avondale Public Libraries have larger meeting rooms which may be booked for a fee.
