Session Details:

Student parents are an often-overlooked group in library services; however, they are a growing part of the student population, especially in the community college setting. Libraries have a unique opportunity to provide amenities to support student parents and make a difference not just in the success of the parent, but in the life of their child. This data-rich presentation covers design, implementation, and the vision behind Tallahassee Community College Library's family study room, as well as overviews existing student parent data, space usage, and satisfaction. The presentation will include suggestions for libraries on a budget and an overview of existing amenities for student parents in the library.
