  • Library Databases: Study Room Policy

    Group Study Rooms are available for currently enrolled students at LAC and PCC libraries

    • Authorized use of a study room requires a reservation for a group containing at least two people.
    • Study rooms are not intended for individual use, however if a study room is empty and unreserved an individual may use it.

    Reserve a Group Study Room

    • LBCC students can reserve a group study room via the online reservation system for 30-minute increments.
    • The online reservation system will not allow a group study room to be reserved for more than 4 hours per day by the same group.
    • Group study room reservations can be made up to 4 weeks in advance.
    • Group study rooms are self-service – simply walk to your study room at your reserved time with your e-mail confirmation and leave when your reservation is over.
    • Group study rooms cannot be reserved for the last hour before the library closes and should be vacated 15 minutes before the library closes

    RESERVATIONS HAVE PRIORITY. If you are using a room and do not have a valid reservation, you must leave when
    asked by a group that has a valid reservation. An individual using a study room will be asked to vacate the room for
    a group.

    Priority:

    1. Group with reservation has priority
    2. Group without reservation
    3. Individual

    Use of Rooms

    • Club meetings, interviews, office hours, or non-academic group activities are not permitted. For more information on club meeting locations visit https://lbcc.campuslabs.com/engage.
