Dry-erase markers with cleaner can be checked out from the library services desk. See below for reservation details. 

Book a Group Study Room

Study rooms on the main and second floors can be reserved for a max of 3 hours.

Click here to view available rooms, then make your reservation. When you arrive at your reserved time and find that others are using the room, ask the librarian for assistance. The rooms may be used without making a reservation, but those with an approved booking have priority. Note: Doctoral study rooms are checked out separately and are for use by TNU doctoral students only. 

  • Where can I study if I need quiet space?

The Silent Study Room, located on the library's top floor near the restrooms, is a space dedicated to independent, quiet study. A variety of seating options help to ensure focused studying. Bring your air pods or headphones if you need to listen to something. The room is open during library hours. 

  • What about printing in the library?

Students can print to the TNU-Print printers. Print jobs are released by tapping your ID on the printer. 

  • Can you bring food or drink to the library?

Food-free zones are located around the computers on the main floor and in the Library Instruction Room. Waggoner NINETEEN| 01 serves coffee, tea, pastries, and grab-n-go lunches on the main floor. A soft drink machine is found on the ground floor, near the restrooms. Be mindful of keeping your space clean.

  • What about headphones and laptops?

The library services desk has headphones, laptops, and whiteboard markers for student check-out in the library. Just be sure you have your TNU student ID handy.
