Reservation Policies

• To make a reservation, you must be a current SLU student, faculty or staff member.
• Pius Library reservable rooms are unmediated and unlocked. Anyone can use the study rooms, but priority is given to the group with a LibCal reservation confirmation.
• The person who made the reservation must be present to show LibCal confirmation to patrons who might already be occupying the space.
• Groups who are using a room/space but do not have a LibCal reservation must vacate the room when a group with a LibCal reservation on the room arrives and shows their confirmation text or email.
• In the event a person with a LibCal reservation does not have a way to show their confirmation, a Pius staff member will check the reservation system for their LibCal reservation and issue a printout for verification.
• Each patron can make one reservation for up to three hours daily. Reservations can be made seven days in advance.
• Rooms must be ready to use when vacated by the assignee. Please take personal items with you. Furniture and whiteboards must stay in the room. Furniture may not be removed or added to the study room.
• Please do not leave any personal material unattended. Remember, the doors are not locked. The library is not responsible for any thefts.

In addition to the above, the person who made the reservation is responsible to:

• Keep the room tidy and remove your trash. If the trash can is full in the study room, please use other trash cans on the floor.
• Be aware that loud conversation can be heard outside the study room. Please be considerate.
• Cancel your reservation using the link in your confirmation email if you know you will not be using a reserved room.
• Arrive within 10 minutes of your reserved start time. Otherwise, your entire reservation will be forfeited.

The rooms may be reserved through LibCal when classes are not in session or used on a first-come, first-served basis, if available.
