Rules of Use
FPL’s study rooms are for the purpose of group or individual study or teleconferencing. Study rooms are available at no charge and may be utilized only by Fullerton Public Library cardholders in 9th grade or above whose library accounts are active and in good standing.
· All users of the study room are expected to follow Fullerton Public Library’s Code of Conduct.
· Group study rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. They may not be booked ahead of time.
· The study rooms are intended for use by individuals or small groups. Please observe the posted seating capacity. (Interior: 8 people, Street: 10 people, YA: 5 people)
· Group study rooms are for use once per day per user or group of users. Individuals are allowed one hour of use per day; groups of two or more are allowed two hours of use per day. Depending on availability, additional time per day may be permitted. A staff member will notify a group when the room is needed--users may stay in their room until then.
· An individual or group may use the study rooms more than once per day, however, users who have already used the rooms earlier that day may be bumped at any time with no minimum time guaranteed. Prior use individuals or groups may not bump other users nor hold a spot on the wait list.
· Study rooms are available during library hours of operation. All study rooms must be vacated fifteen (15) minutes prior to the library closing.
· A study room may be assigned to another group if all group members have vacated the room at the same time. Personal belongings in an otherwise empty room may not be used to “reserve” the room. Any belongings left behind will be turned into Lost and Found.
· Study room users shall keep the noise level to a minimum and shall not disrupt other users of the library. If the noise level disrupts other users of the library, the individuals causing the excessive noise may be removed from the study room or library.
· Consumption of food in the study rooms is prohibited. Drinks must be in a covered container. No meals are permitted.
· Patrons who use the study rooms are expected to leave the rooms in their original order.
Responsibility for the Room and Its Contents
We require at least one member of the group to provide a Fullerton Public Library card in good standing or school identification for use of the room. A Fullerton Public Library Card is the preferred form of identification. Fullerton Public Library is not responsible for any cards that are lost or left behind.
Fullerton Public Library is not responsible for any damage or loss due to equipment malfunction or other use of the group study rooms.
The person who provides their identification will be considered responsible for the room and its contents. This person must sign a form indicating they have read and understood the Fullerton Public Library’s Study Room Policy.
If the responsible person is under 18, his or her parent or legal guardian will be responsible.
