Library Carrels
Carrels available in Pattee Library at University Park only.
The University Libraries' offers the use of library study carrels to Penn State graduate students, University Scholars and faculty at University Park. These carrels provide lockable compartments for patrons wishing to store research or study materials in central Pattee Library.
Please note that a carrel assignment refers only to this lockable compartment. Anyone may sit at any carrel and is under no obligation to move except to allow you access to your lockable compartment.
Please also note that the Libraries' provides this service as a convenience only, and cannot be liable for the security of any items stored in study carrels. For this reason, the Libraries'discourage patrons from storing personal items or items of great value in the study carrels.
Study Carrel Policies
While there is no charge for carrel use, we do assess a $5.00 replacement fee for lost keys.
Please remember to renew your carrel every December, May, and August for the following semester. Carrel keys will appear on your library account list of checkouts and renewed twice through My Library Account. If you do not renew your carrel, you must return your key to the main circulation desk, first floor Pattee.
- Please check out all library materials to your account at a service desk before storing them in a study carrel.
- Periodicals and reference items should never be locked in study carrels.
- Please do not store food or drink in or around study carrels.
All study carrels are subject to routine search by authorized staff to ensure compliance with these policies.
