• Silent study means no talking, use headphones with all devices, phones must be set to silent, and you must leave the area to take calls.

  • 2nd floor McNab Reading Room.

  • 3rd and 4th floor study carrels.

  • 5th floor.

• Quiet study means you can have quiet conversations, use headphones with all devices, phones must be set to silent, and you must leave the area to take calls. If your conversation can be heard at more than two tables away, you are too loud.

• You may eat in the Killam atrium or in the hallway study space on floors 2 – 5. You may have drinks in covered containers in most areas of the library unless otherwise noted by a sign. Second Cup and Subway are in the Killam atrium, and Tim Horton’s and other food outlets are across the street in the Student Union Building. No food in the stacks please!
