The University Libraries invites partnerships related to learning initiatives and exhibits. CU affiliates (faculty, staff, students) and campus partners may request use of library public spaces in alignment with the mission of the University Libraries. The partnering group or individual must have a Libraries employee represent them to the Libraries. The Libraries employee will need to follow internal procedures to reserve a space.
This policy applies only to public spaces, which are areas that are generally open to the public at all times. Please see our policies page for information on classrooms, study rooms, etc. Visit the Center for British and Irish Studies for information about the CBIS Room (Norlin M549).
