Lister Hill Library Study Room Reservation Policy

In accordance to current COVID-19 protocol, UAB Libraries will now allow small groups to reserve study rooms. Most of the study rooms at Lister Hill Library will accommodate up to two people. A couple of rooms have been arranged to allow three to four, and one will accommodate up to six. Each room remains set up with furniture placement to continue social distancing guidelines.

Lister Hill Library has 19 study room spaces available for currently enrolled UAB students seeking individual study space. Reservations can be made online the same day or a day in advance. Persons making a room reservation must report to the Lister Hill Library HUB Service Desk with their OneCard to check in. A face mask MUST be worn to occupy a room.
