Trainers and instructors who wish to teach in a computer-classroom without the help of a librarian must 1) reserve the room and 2) reserve up to 20 wireless laptop computers (Cascade only). No administrative network access will be available (i.e., no PCC Intranet or Banner).

Meeting rooms

Cascade Library 106, Rock Creek Library 203, Sylvania Library 112, 204

The library is a quiet study area. The use of the library meeting rooms should conform appropriately.

Rooms may be reserved for up to two hours at a time.
Study rooms are to be reserved for occasional use only. Reserving any room for recurring blocks of time (weekly, monthly, etc.) is not permitted.
Reservations will be held for only ten minutes, after which the room becomes available on a first-come first-serve basis. No exceptions.
If the room is not reserved, use is on a first-come first-serve basis.
Groups always have priority. For example, individuals or groups of less than five may be asked to relinquish the room to groups of five or more.

Library instruction rooms

Sylvania Library 212

This room is primarily used for library instruction classes (see above).

Keys

Instructors and staff may check out the room key and the key for the laptop storage cabinet at the checkout counter. Instructors and staff are responsible for the setup of the wireless laptop computers before a class/meeting, and their storage afterward. It is recommended that you arrive 10 minutes early to allow adequate time for set-up. Instructors are responsible for locking up all laptop computers, locking the door, and returning the keys before leaving the library.

Hours

Library rooms are available only during library open hours.
