Unlike Downtown Meader Library, which has group study rooms on various floors, Atherton Library only has one group study room. Unfortunately for the the Academic Center in Hawaii Loa Campus, it is now the only spare room available for meetings, and the group room is designated for STUDENTS and LIBRARY STAFF ONLY. Faculty are not allowed to reserve this room, unless in rare circumstances & must be given special permission by Wayde, the Head of Atherton Library.
The group study room used to be our copier/junk room, until Wayde decided to convert it to a group study room. We are lucky to have this room. Being able to use this room is a privilege, and it should not be abused.
