Reserve a Space
Reservable study rooms
The library offers study rooms for 1 to 5 people, available for Cal State LA students, faculty, and staff to reserve for up to two hours a day, up to 7 days in advance. Some rooms feature HD monitors or computers, while others have whiteboards. They are located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of Library North.
Unreserved rooms can be used, but it's best to reserve to avoid conflicts. For group study rooms, at least half the capacity must arrive within 15 minutes of the reservation; otherwise, the room may be released. Faculty needing to book rooms more than 7 days in advance or for recurring use should email library@calstatela.edu specifying the room number and desired dates and times.

- Library Innovation Hub (LIB A-119)
The University Library Innovation Hub houses a state of the art 84-inch Microsoft Surface Hub perfect for collaborative lectures, discussions, and presentations. Faculty and staff may reserve the experimental learning environment to hold events, workshops, and meetings, and faculty are welcome to use the space for one-time class lectures. This room is best for education-based events that are more interactive in nature. The space has glass walls that do not reach the ceiling and is visually accessible to surrounding patrons, therefore ambient noise may be of concern to those inside and adjacent to the room. Food and drink is not permitted in this area. The maximum capacity in this room is 39 seated. View pictures of the Innovation Hub space.
- Library Community Room (LIB B-131)
The University Library Community Room can be reserved by faculty and staff providing education-based events, workshops, and meetings that are open to the Cal State LA community. The Community Room features a PC-based workstation ideal for presenting, as well as furniture that is easily adaptable to meet the needs of your event. Adjacent to the room is a 1000-square-foot patio available for use during your event, but please note use of this space does not increase the maximum capacity of the space. The maximum capacity in this room is 45 seated or 70 total. View pictures of the Community Room space.
