Patrons seeking to reserve a room must be in a group of two or more, be a current CLU Student, Faculty member, or Staff member, and possess a current CLU ID. Summer programming patrons may be able to place room reservations upon accommodation. Parties of one are asked to make use of the carrels located throughout the library.
The individual who reserves the room assumes full responsibility for the room, its contents, and the room key. This individual, referred to as the key holder, is responsible for both checking out and returning the key to the Circulation Desk. Any fees associated with a lost key or damage to the room will be levied against the key holder. Additionally, the key holder must be present in the room during the entire time the room is being used. If the key holder must leave the library he or she should return the key to the Circulation Desk and transfer the key to another group member.
All rooms may be used for a period of no longer than two hours. Back-to-back or other same-day reservations for the same group are strictly prohibited, even when made in the name of other group members. Groups may check in at the Circulation Desk five minutes before the end of their allotted time to extend their reservation. If no other group has requested the room, the group may remain only until another group requests the room. Library staff will inform the group of the need for the room and the group will be given 5 minutes to vacate the room. All rooms must be vacated 15 minutes before the close of business. Rooms may be reserved for use only during the library’s regular hours. Please refer to current Hours of Operation for library hours and special schedules.
All rooms contain a collaboration table, chairs, a computer, a large screen display with laptop hookups, and a dry-erase board. Supply kits containing markers and an eraser for use on the dry-erase boards are available and may be checked out at the Circulation Desk. Other equipment, such as laptop projectors and televisions, may be requested from Media Services at (805) 493-3820 or media@callutheran.edu.
