Memorial Library prioritizes quiet study spaces by reminding everyone while entering the area with a "Quiet Study" sign. Memorial Library is known for their unique single person study spaces often referred to as "the cages". This unique space offers a closed off and almost private study space that is silent. Most cages are just a small room with a fence-like door and a single person desk and chair. Some cages luckily even have a window to the outside, but most do not. These cages are best for working by yourself and needing a quiet space to get work done or take an exam.
Another unique feature is that Memorial Library offers reservable study rooms. This means you can reserve the room for yourself or you and your friends and have that room all to yourselves! These rooms are great to reserve for taking online exams, working on group projects together, or studying quietly by yourself. One thing to note is that the reservable study rooms are often booked out far into the future and it is very hard to reserve one during the craziness of mid-terms and finals.

This space is great when meeting up with friends to study while still working independently. In my own experience, it can be very helpful and motivating to be around other studying students when trying to focus on school work or studying.
