- No, we do not have designated meeting or study rooms. However, the library offers several quieter areas where patrons may gather or study. The History Room on the first floor is available on a first‑come, first‑served basis; the door must remain open, and the room is unavailable one hour before and after scheduled library programs. The second floor also includes quiet areas suitable for individual or small‑group study.
- The library does have two sound-blocking phone booths on the second floor that can be used for online meetings and phone calls.
