(Dec 25/25) I really like the individual study room offered at Thode library because it is excellent for hosting research meetings online that touch on confidential information, but also its just me, so I wouldnt need to take up a whole group study room. Below are my suggestions for improvement: - Lack of space and options since there is only one room and it is only offered at Thode Library - If there is limited space in libraries other than Thode, could we add another individual room on quieter floors, the walls arent soundproof unfortunately... - The policy around one booking per week isnt feasible for individual rooms because research meetings may be scheduled more than one time during the week. I really appreciate your time and understanding!

Library response: I am glad to hear that you use our study rooms, and we appreciate your suggestions for improvement. Our one‑booking‑per‑week study room booking policy is in place to provide an opportunity for everyone on campus to use this very popular resource. Our study rooms on the lower level of Thode are not soundproof, which is unfortunate — it is too costly to build new soundproof group and individual study rooms. Mills Library has kindly been gifted a single‑use study room that will be installed during Reading Break 2026. Keep your eye out for this new addition to our room booking system! We’re hearing from more and more students who need individual‑use study rooms, and we hope to grow these options in the coming years (Jan 9/26)
