4. Quiet Study Area

  • Tables and carrels for quiet study are available throughout the library, especially along the south and west windows. 
  • While you're here, take a look outside: we've got a spectacular view of the Loop and the neighboring Harold Washington Library, part of the Chicago Public Library system.
