The Pods

The Foundation at Work
Reserve Yours Today!
Too much noise at home? Need a quiet place for your
next online meeting or conference call? Thanks to your support,
The Foundation was able to partner with the Library to provide two
Meeting Pods for our patrons. The Meeting Pods are located on the
first floor of the Library. If you haven’t had a chance to try them
out – we encourage you to do so! These are peaceful, sound-proof spaces
that ensure privacy for important interviews or much-needed quiet
during study sessions. These will only prove more vital in our hybrid
online/in-person professional world, and we are proud to be part of the
solution for our hard-working patrons.
For now, there are only two pods, so be sure to book your appointment in
advance by calling the Reference Department or online at
