Rooms for Use

The Raether Center was designed to create spaces that would act as unique gathering places that take advantage of the proximity to staff and collections that are available in the library. Many of the spaces are ‘informal’ – a gathering of chairs, or table set in the corner - a few spaces, however, allow for more formal and private gatherings. The Library strives to keep these spaces un-programmed allowing us to meet the ongoing spontaneous needs of the Trinity community; however, members of the community occasionally find it necessary to reserve a space. The following list details the intended use of each room, and whom to contact for reservations. (Please note: These spaces are available for use only to the Trinity community).
