Looking for a peaceful place to work, study, or unwind with a good book after hours? Join us for Late Night Library Lounge—a calm, quiet environment where you can make the most of the library’s relaxed atmosphere after closing time. Whether you’re catching up on reading, tackling a project, or working quietly with a small group, the Lounge offers a welcoming setting for focused, independent use. Please note: This is a low volume program —conversations and group work are welcome, but must be kept low-volume and respectful of others.

Bring your own device, settle into a cozy corner, and enjoy the library in a whole new light.
