All Group Study Rooms Can Now Be Reserved!

Effective with the Spring 2018 semester, all Group Study Rooms on the 2nd & 3rd Floors can be reserved by students.

Introducing: Question of the Week

At Meriam Library, we love to discover new information. While we have plenty of peer-reviewed articles and scholarly research on hand, we also want answers to questions such as:

  • If you could go back in time, which book would you give your younger self?
  • What do you need help with the most at the library?
  • And, what's the most you've spent on textbooks in one semester?

That last question is now up on our new Question of the Week whiteboard. Come check it out on the 2nd floor of the library, next to the elevators.

Ever wonder how many people visit the library in a year (1,148,865),  or how many computers we have (187) or how many group study rooms (30) or participants in library instruction (4,060) or where we borrow inter library materials (see world map on display).  All this and more currently on display on the second floor in CANDY form. Us library peeps here to help you succeed at Chico State.

All Gender Restroom

 

Meriam Library is committed to inclusion.  We now have two all gender restrooms located on the third floor, North of the elevator.

Treat Yo' Self to silence

Meriam Library Third Floor is designated for silent solitary study or relaxation. We added some signage to help maintain the peace and quiet.  Go on, indulge in the silence.

New Restroom Dispensers Survey

Facilities Management and Services recently completed the installation of new automated, touchless paper towel and soap dispensers, as well as new toilet paper dispensers in the Meriam Library restrooms over the Winter Break. Accordingly, we are very interested in receiving comments regarding these new products and have created a survey.

FMS welcomes input from the campus community to help in this evaluation that will help determine the success of the project and development of a plan for further installations.
