The Library includes quiet study spaces as well as spaces for conversation and group study. We also have a space for creative study breaks.
Main Floor: When not in use for campus functions, the MacDonald Room is a silent study area. No bookings or reservations required. Our study carrels (cubicles) on the main floor are also considered quiet areas. Study carrels include locking cabinets that may be borrowed by grad students, undergrad students writing a thesis, as well as any student registered with Accessibility Services.Please contact the library at 902-457-6250 or library@msvu.ca for more information.
Quiet computer space: Some carrels on the main floor have computer workstations for quiet work.
Lower Level: The entire lower level of the library is considered a quiet study area.
Students are encouraged to approach any staff member if they are being bothered by noise in a quiet zone. Reach the front desk at 902-457-6250 or email library@msvu.ca. Please be considerate of other library users who need quiet concentration.
Main Floor: The front area of the library between the bookshelves and the main entrance is called the Library Commons. Quiet conversation is permitted here.
Cosy Corner Study Breaks: The Cosy Corner, with drawing and colouring materials, serves as a buffer between the shared study space and quiet study areas. It is the perfect spot for a creative break from your studies.
The Library manages nine student study rooms in EMF and McCain.
