Library Mission Statement
The Lawrence W. Tyree Library supports Santa Fe College with knowledgeable staff, appropriate resources, and an environment that promotes user success and life-long learning.
- Study rooms are for educational purposes only. No groups or individuals may charge fees to attend or participate in a group or use the study rooms.
- Anyone using a study room without a reservation will be asked to yield the room for users with a reservation. Reservation requests must be submitted through the online booking system. Users must go to the 1st floor Circulation Desk or 2nd floor Reference Desk at the time of their reservation to receive the room reservation card. To fulfill a reservation, two users must be present at time of check in. For Y-224 and Y-233, four users must be present at time of check in.
- For rooms that seat up to 8, a minimum of 2 users are required to be in the study room to retain a reservation.
- For rooms that seat more than 8, a minimum of 4 users are required to be in the study room to retain a reservation.
- The library offers one single user study room, Y-218. Reservations for this room are limited to three hours per day per individual.
- If all users leave the study room at the same time during the period of their reservation, they forfeit their reservation. The room will become available to others for use.
- Users who are unable to make their reserved time should contact the Library at 352-395-5409 or by email at reference@sfcollege.edu. Failure to show within 15 minutes after the reserved time will result in cancelation of that reservation.
- Second floor rooms may be reserved up to 2 weeks in advance. First floor rooms may be reserved up to 24 hours in advance. During the last two weeks of fall and spring semesters, study room use may be limited. The limited rules will be posted at those times.
- In accordance with Santa Fe College Rule 6.4 – Use of College Facilities, the library study rooms may not be used by tutors not employed by the college.
- Users may not leave personal items unattended in the study rooms. Any items left in study rooms will be taken to the SF Police Department’s Lost and Found. Staff is not responsible for personal property left in study rooms by users.
- Study room users should respect other library users by keeping the door closed and refraining from loud noises.
Failure to follow any of these policies may result in loss of library privileges or disciplinary sanctions.
