Study Rooms
The library has two rooms for private use on the 2nd floor. One room can hold six people and the other can hold four. Each room has a table, chairs, a couch and a dry erase board (erasers and markers for the dry erase boards are available at the Reference Desk).
Perfect for studying, tutoring, small meetings or just a quiet place to read.
Study rooms can be reserved up to 7 days in advance. To reserve call the library at 978-774-0554 or stop by the Reference Desk.
Patrons can initially sign out a room for up to 2 hours. At the end of that period, if no one else has reserved the room, patrons can extend their time an hour at a time for up to a total of 4 hours in a day.
Mobile Device Charging Stations
The library has two charging stations. The one for adults is located on the second floor in the seating area to the right of the elevator. The second is only for teens and is located in the Young Adult room on the first floor. When charging, make sure to keep your devices in sight. The Library is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
