Canaday Services

CARRELS

A limited number of carrels in Canaday are available to Bryn Mawr seniors, graduate students, and faculty. For more information about faculty carrels email Circulation. 

Carrels in Canaday for the academic year are available beginning in June for seniors and graduate students and may be claimed on a first-come, first-served basis.  No application or reservation is necessary; Circulation keeps no list of carrel assignments.  To claim your carrel:

• Select an unassigned carrel (one without a Carrel Assignment Card posted)
• Stop by the Circulation Desk for a Carrel Assignment Card.  Please bring your OneCard with you so that we can verify your status.
• Fill out the card and post it in your carrel. 

Carrels assigned to undergraduates become available again in the summer for the coming academic year.  Carrels assigned to graduate students and faculty remain as long as they are needed.  

Do not leave valuables or materials that have not been checked out in your carrel.  Library items left in carrels that have not been checked out will be re-shelved by library staff.  Items left in carrels by those who have graduated will be removed during the summer.

Canaday carrels B7 and B8 are designated for prelim exams only.  Graduate students may book a carrel for up to 5 hours for test-taking.  These carrels remain unlocked when not in use. Advanced booking is not required.

Book a Prelim Carrel

To cancel or change a booking, email to circulation@brynmawr.edu.

To check out a carrel, simply ask to check out the key for whichever carrel you’ve booked at Canaday Circulation.
