The Library is pleased to announce the opening of four group study rooms!  Looking for a place to work with others, finish up projects, or practice your presentation in front of a small audience?  Just head downstairs to rooms 16, 20, 22, or 24 in the Thompson (Main) Library.

How can I access one of the group study rooms?

Easily! Just bring your Vassar ID to the Circulation Desk on the first floor and ask to check out the key.

Wait! Where are rooms 16, 20, 22, or 24?

The rooms are tucked away on the ground floor of the library, next to Matthew’s Bean.  Here’s a handy map:
