If there is an assignment, library instructors would appreciate seeing a copy in advance.

We will respond via e-mail or phone as soon as possible regarding your request. A class is only confirmed after you have been contacted by a library staff member. If you need to cancel an already scheduled session or room reservation, please contact the library at 646-4129 as soon as possible so we may make the room available to others.

If you wish to schedule more than one session, please resubmit this form for each session.
