The Hiram College Library currently has two
rooms that may be suitable for use by faculty, staff, or students.
These rooms are the Pritchard Room on
the 2nd floor Pavilion and the
Library Instruction Room on the third floor. These rooms
must be reserved through the designated office. Please click
on the room name above to find the specific reservation policy and
the person to contact.
Before booking a room, please consult the
library's hours and schedules to be sure the building is open
when you are planning to use the room. Rooms cannot be used
when the library is closed nor can the library open early or close
late to accommodate room use.
While the library has a number of small-group study rooms on the
second and third floors, these are available on a first-come,
first-serve basis and may not be reserved.

Please contact Events Planning for Pritchard Room use policies.
Please note that any room set-up needs should be made when reserving
the room. Requests for audio-visual equipment should be made
directly to the the Center for Educational Technology. The
Library cannot provide equipment, flip charts, markers, and other
supplies nor does the Library do set-ups of equipment.

Assistant at x5354
Reservation Policy: The Library Instruction Room,
located on the third floor just to the left as you exit the
elevator, is available for Hiram College affiliated meetings and
academic presentations when it is not required by the Library
Instruction team or for other library events. Course-related
Library Instruction is the primary function of the room.
This necessarily precludes scheduling the Room on an ongoing basis
for regularly scheduled classes or meetings. Faculty and
staff reserving the Library Instruction Room must make their own
arrangements, with the prior approval of the Library Director, with
Physical Plan to have furniture moved or the room set-up changed in
any significant manner. It is also the responsibility of the
booking party to ensure the Room is returned to its regular
configuration when finished.
Library staff request that no software be added to the PC in this
classroom with the prior approval of the Library Director and that
any changes made in the PC configuration be removed after the
session is completed.
Students who wish to reserve the Library Instruction Room for Senior
Seminar or other class-related presentations requiring the use of
computer projection will find it easiest to have the faculty member
make the reservation. Failing that, students may book the room
by contacting the Library Administrative Assistant and signing a
contract for each booking. It is important to note that each
contract must be co-signed by the faculty member or staff person
overseeing the project. To book the Library Instruction Room
students must:
1. Contact the Library Administrative Assistant (or, if
unavailable, a library staff member familiar with the classroom) to
verify that the room is available at the desired time and date and
to pick up a copy of the contract. A printable version of the
contract is also available online in .pdf
format
2. The Library Administrative Assistant (or, if
unavailable, a library staff member familiar with the classroom)
will fill out the date and time of the reservation in the top line
of the contract and give it to the student to be co-signed by the
responsible faculty/staff member and the student contracting for the
Room. A signed contract must be on file for each use of the
classroom.
3. The student must turn in the signed contract and
have it on file at the Front (Circulation) Desk BEFORE the key to
the Library Instruction Room will be given out.
