May I suggest the upper floor, which is reserved as a "quiet" floor. There are also study rooms on this floor, which will offer you more privacy. The main floor, with our Help Desk and computers is not a quiet floor and the bottom floor,during classes has a cafe where students are encourage to gather in groups and talk. Your best bet for privacy is the upper floor. David Berona Director, Library and Learning Commons Alyssa:

People come here because they need quiet time to do work and focus, hence being a library specifically at a college. When you have a paper and 3 discussions, plus an exam due for a class one day-it gets a little difficult when we have a two year old running around talking and yelling loudly, as most do. This is a place of study. Can people with children not be asked to go into a seperate room therefore not to bother students actually trying to do work? I pay a lot to go to this school, and yelling children in a library is not something my tuition should be wasted on.

I also need information about the roles & responsibilities of a reading coach, or literacy coordinator - what key words will get the desired results? Thanks!

I also need information about the roles & responsibilities of a reading coach, or literacy coordinator – what key words will get the desired results?

Thanks!
