What’s better than one extra quiet study space in the library? Two, of course.
There have been a lot of changes at libraries over the years. Gone is the stereotypical silent space with a librarian constantly “shushing” those who dare make a sound. From open until close people of all ages come to Medicine Hat Public Library to borrow materials, to take part in programs, research and even just relax. That makes this a busy and active building and sometimes the peace and quiet people need isn’t there.
A new study pod is now available on our main level. Located next to the elevator, this space has a desk in the middle and is suitable for single or two-person use for study or a meeting. The WhisperRoom - a sound isolation booth specially designed to significantly reduce ambient and acoustic noise - we got earlier this year is still downstairs behind the theatre.
Library cardholders can book the spaces for 55-minute sessions, and up to twice a day.
