Room Reservation Guidelines

In addition to our many open spaces, Barbour Library offers meeting rooms, group study rooms, individual closed study carrels, and a Recording and Media Room, which may be reserved for individual and group use. Use of these rooms is governed by our Code of Conduct and our Health and Safety Guidelines.

  • Rooms may be reserved during the library’s operating hours only. Current PTS faculty, staff, and students have the additional option of reserving the Kelley-Orr Lounge and Meeting Room 105 in the Library’s 24/7 space at any time.
  • Time limits for room reservations vary according to the specific room and type of use.
  • Priority use of group study rooms is given to group reservations over individuals.
  • During finals weeks, use of group study rooms and individual closed carrels is limited to current PTS students only, and special time limits on reservations for these spaces apply.
  • Use of larger spaces such as the second floor atrium is limited to group gatherings and events. Smaller meetings should be scheduled in a meeting room or the Truxall classroom.
  • Room reservations by non-PTS patrons require the establishment of a library account with payment of the appropriate annual borrowing fee ($15 for clergy; $30 for general public).
  • Long-term reservations of closed study carrels are subject to library staff approval and room availability. See our Study Carrels webpage for more information.

 

How to Make a Room Reservation

Members of the PTS community (faculty, staff, and students) can reserve a space using 25Live. Detailed instructions for using 25Live are available in MyPTS.

Non-PTS patrons such as local clergy, PTS alumnae/i, and the general public should contact library staff to set up a room reservation.
