A new feature of the Leddy Library will better support the needs of student caregivers.
The Child Friendly Study Room, located on the third floor of the Main Building (Room 3169), is designed to create a welcoming environment for parents and guardians studying with young children.
The room is equipped with comfortable seating, a desk, and a table to facilitate focused work or study sessions. To make visits even more engaging for little ones, library staff put together Child Friendly Kits children's backpacks filled with books, puzzles, art supplies, and toys that caregivers can check out.
"By offering a dedicated space where parents can care for their children while accessing academic resources, we hope to support caregivers and address their unique needs," says Dave Johnston, head of the Access Services Department.
The Child Friendly Study Room is available during regular library hours and accommodates varying schedules and study habits. Bookings can be made online for time slots ranging from 30 minutes to three hours. The space operates on a first-come, first-served basis and can host one adult and up to two children.
