Study Rooms
GEPL has study rooms available on a first-come basis for high school students, adults, or younger children who are accompanied by an adult. Priority will be given to those wishing to use rooms for group work involving conversation that could potentially disturb library users. Library staff will impose a two hour time limit when others are waiting. Check in with a library staff member for access to a study room.
