Silent Reading Wyckoff Reading Room and an image of a woman sitting reading

 

Have you explored all the spaces in Lemieux Library?  You may have noticed a beautiful reading room on the 3rd floor behind a glass wall.  The Wyckoff Room is the only truly silent area in the whole library - take a look at the signage on the door and you will see that, per student requests, even typing isn't allowed in that area! 

The Wyckoff Reading Room provides a variety of seating with task lights and large windows.  It also has a beautiful skylight that provides a particularly soothing "white noise" effect during Seattle's frequent rainy spells.  The Lemieux Library invites you to explore this space, unplug, and practice the valuable art of silent, uninterrupted reading.  We have one event per month to help prompt your first experience of this space, make a note of the Fall Quarter Events.

 

Tues, Oct 8th | 3:30pm - 4:30pm | Common Text & Cocoa – drink cocoa, eat snacks, read! Copies of Binti available. Sponsored by the Common Text Committee.

Mon, Nov 4th | 3:30pm - 4:30pm | Read outside your bubble – a variety of print news sources will be available for you to try something new outside your usual media bubble.

Tues, Dec 3rd | 3:30pm - 4:30pm | Cozy Winter Tales – a selection of seasonal reading material from the Lemieux collections will be brought down for you to browse.  *NEW ADDITION* Browse from a collection of poetry to whet your appetite for Unsung Poetry - poetry readings in Byte Cafe on Fri, Dec 6th
