24-Hour Room

The Library’s 24-Hour Room is available to currently enrolled Shepherd University students as a place to study during and after library hours.

After normal library operating hours, the 24-Hour Room can be accessed using the HID Mobile Access app from the south-side door of the library, located across from the Byrd Science Center. Current faculty and staff working in the library also have Rambler card access to the 24-Hour Room as a point of entry.

For your safety and the safety of others, do not allow non-students to enter the 24-Hour Room behind you. Consider someone a non-student if the person is not known to you as a student. If the unknown person is a student, they should swipe their own Rambler card for entry.

While using the 24-Hour Room, the following rules apply:

• No Pets (except properly identified service animals)
• Reasonable quiet is expected
• Parents/caregivers must supervise the behavior of their children at all times
• No alcoholic beverages
• No tobacco products, including e-cigarettes
• No sleeping overnight
• No bathing
• Misconduct such as the following will result in expulsion from the premises:
  1. Foul or threatening language/gestures
  2. Public drunkenness
  3. Persistent loudness
  4. Fighting
  5. Other offensive behavior

  Disruptive behavior should be reported to library staff immediately.
