The open-concept Learning Commons area is a collaborative study zone for students working individually or in groups. Some noise can be expected in this area, but we require everyone using the area to be respectful of others by using "indoor voices" and behaving appropriately. See the Library 411 page for more information about the library's study zones.
Groups of 2 to 4 people may schedule the use of one of two group study rooms for an hour. The group study rooms can only booked by current Leeward CC students--registration will be verified. Students may extend use into a second hour if no one else has booked the room. Each room has a flatscreen display you can connect to using an HDMI cable or Apple TV. See the Group Study Room Policy for more details.
To reserve a group study room, go to our Group Study Room Reservation page or call the Circulation Desk at (808) 455-0210.
