Pahrump Community Library
Study Room Use Policy
Pahrump Community Library provides study rooms to serve the needs of the Library and the community. Use of the study rooms is governed by the policy established by the Library Board of Trustees and any applicable rules or regulations adopted by the Library. The Library Director, as the executor of the policy for the Board of Trustees, has discretion in determining what use is “in the best interest of the Library” and is authorized to act accordingly, including limiting the use of the study rooms by individuals whose activities interfere with Library operations, adversely affect public safety, or cause public disturbances.
The primary purpose of the study rooms is to provide space for small groups to meet and work.
There are four (4) study rooms designed to accommodate up to 4 or 6 people, by room size. These rooms may be reserved for free with a valid Pahrump Community Library card. You may book a study room online or book a study room at the Reference Desk. Study rooms will be locked when not in use.
