Group Study Areas

SMALL GROUP RESEARCH AREA


The Library provides a unique area for groups working on research projects, available right behind the reference desk. 

You will have a spot for your very own computer to perform your research together, a place to browse through books you may want to check out or reference books, and a librarian nearby ready and willing to help you with your research!

GROUP STUDY ROOMS

Chabot Library provides three study rooms that groups of two or more people can sign up for up to a maximum of two hours a day. A sign up book is available at the reference desk and you can sign up to a week in advance. You need to show up within five minutes after the time you signed up, otherwise that time is forfeited.
