Education Librarian
The University of Arkansas Libraries support a diverse campus community, which include caregivers and their families. The Family Study Space is located on the fourth floor of Mullins Library in room 464. This room is large enough to fit 12 people, and it is encouraged that caregivers and families share this space when possible.
To ensure this space is readily available for caregivers and families, the Family Study Space remains locked when not in use. All caregivers and families looking to use this space will need to stop by the Mullins Library Help Desk upon arrival so staff may unlock the room. Families and caregivers will also need to stop back by the Help Desk when finished so the room can be relocked.
The Family Study Space includes:
- Kid-sized furniture
- Kid's books and toys
- Adult-sized tables with seating for 8
- Large display monitor with HDMI connection
- WIFI
- There are no computers in the room, so patrons must bring their own computer devices to connect to the display monitor
Guidelines for Use
- Responsibility and care for children in the Libraries resides solely with the parent or designated caregiver.
- Children may not be left unattended in the Family Study Space.
- Libraries patrons using the space without children may be asked to leave the Family Study Space to make room for patrons with small children.
