The second floor of the library has book stacks from A-PN, group study rooms, reading rooms, a library instruction classroom, and the future Faculty Development Center. It contains circulating books that can be checked out as well as quiet study spaces. Restrooms and a water fountain are located midway along the stacks.

1. Second Floor
The easiest way to get to the second floor stacks is to take the central staircase and go past the
double doors. Or you may take the elevator in the first floor reference stack area.
The second floor has stacks A-PN, library instruction classroom, group study rooms,
reading rooms, and the Faculty Development Center.

2. As you get off the elevator on the second floor or enter through the double doors
from the staircase, this is the what you will see. Books that can be checked out are
shelved on the second and third floors of the library. The second floor has books
with call numbers A-PN 2924. Rest rooms and a water fountain can be found about
half way down the stacks on the left. If you are looking for a quiet study space, this is
the floor!
A quick-look up kiosk for searching the library’s catalog and databases is
conveniently located in this stack area.

the main floor is not ready for use.

pointing to the classroom. Room 242 is all the way at the back on the Fitch Street side. It has 19
computers, an instructor’s station, a projector, and a table and chairs to seat a total of 25 students.

There are two reading rooms, one on either side of the entrance to the FDC.
