Students have long requested a space in the medical area to study when the library is closed. Dana is offering a new study location for medical, nursing and health science students. All matriculated Larner College of Medicine and College of Nursing and Health Science students have access during the hours that the library is closed. This space includes the LCOM and CNHS Quiet Study space in the middle back area of the library and the study space in the south back end of the library.

After Hours Study will begin the evening of Monday, November 20th. There will be no After Hours Study during the Thanksgiving holiday. It will reopen Friday, November 24th at 11pm.

How it Works:

As usual, all library patrons will leave the library when it closes. To use the After Hours Study space, re-enter through the back door (west of the Larner Classroom) by tapping in with your CatCard ID. Only matriculated LCOM and CNHS students are authorized to use the after hours space. Students will need to use their card to exit the space as well. If you push on the doors to exit, without swiping your card, the alarm will sound.

Please do not prop or hold the door for others. The space is unmonitored/unstaffed and we anticipate that all parties (students and library workers) will work together to make it a safe and respectful place to study at night. For added security, there is an emergency phone with direct connection to police services.

Please note that custodial staff clean the library at night; they will continue to do so in the After Hours Study space. They have been notified of these library changes.

Ask at the Main Desk or contact Director Marianne Burke with questions or concerns.
