Over the next few weeks, please be extra careful to keep the noise level in the Library as low as possible so we can provide law students with a quiet place to study.
The California Room on the lower level has been designated as a “quiet zone” for silent study. Try this area if you’re hoping to minimize distractions.
Here are a few other things to keep in mind:
- Voices carry. When it comes to noise, the biggest source of complaints is from talking. So if conversation is necessary, keep it brief and be attentive to how well others can hear you. Whispers can carry quite far in some parts of the Library. And cell phone calls are not permitted anywhere in the Library.
- Even behind doors. The computer lab and group study rooms are not entirely sound-proofed, so your classmates nearby can definitely hear it if things get boisterous.
- Kindness wins. We encourage you all to be patient with each other during the exam season. We also encourage all law students to contact anyone on the Library staff with Library-related questions or concerns.
