Study Room
(Study Room)

Prosper Community Library has limited study room space. As a result, Library policy was established and approved by Town Council to create fair access to these spaces. Study rooms may be used on a first come, first served basis. Patrons (adult or juvenile) must have a valid Prosper Community Library card in good standing; no one under the age of 13 years old may utilize a study room without adult supervision, nor use the room alone. Member users must check-out the room via presentation of their [valid] library card or photo ID. Study rooms may be utilized for two hours on a first come, first served basis. After two hours, the occupants may continue to use the space provided no one requests the space. The room in which the occupant has used the room the longest will be the first required to vacate. If a study room is not available upon arrival, the patron will be informed as to when one will be available. If a study room is not available, a patron may sign up to be next in line and must remain in the library to wait their turn. Reservations are not taken for study rooms with the exception of Library use. No phone or email requests are allowed. Requests can only be made in person at the time of use. A maximum of four individuals may occupy a study room at one time. In the case of groups (four or less) using the room, one person will represent the group for its tenure in the room. Consecutive, hourly signups by other persons of the same group are not allowed. White board marker kits are available at the reference desk to use. No markers, other than the library’s, are allowed to be used on the white boards. Disruptive behavior will lead to a loss of access to the study room(s). Noise should be held to a reasonable level as the rooms are not soundproof. Teleconferencing and/or phone calls are allowed as long as the volume is not considered disruptive or intrusive as the rooms are not soundproof. Study Rooms are not available to be used for any of the following: For purposes prohibited by town ordinance, by state or federal law, or Library Policy, for commercial advertising or direct solicitation of clients or customers, fund-raising, or events which directly profit the business of a commercial organization or individual.
