If a library patron needs absolute quiet, the only location that would meet that need is the Pritchard Information Commons located on the 2nd floor of Moody Library behind the elevators.  It’s a nice space with carpeted floors, some areas with living room type furniture, and long library worktables.  No talking is the rule there, so if sound disturbances occur, students may make a request to library security for immediate assistance. 

There are several ways to contact library security:  The student may call the Baylor DPS non-emergency dispatch number at 254-710-2211, though that may be difficult in the moment sitting among other students.  Two better ways of contacting Baylor non-emergency dispatch are through email: Dispatch@baylor.edu or by texting, using a free downloadable phone app called BU Campus Guardian:  https://www.baylor.edu/dps/index.php?id=973173.  

 

Library security is overseen by Baylor DPS and dispatch is monitored 24 hours a day.  Library security is on site all hours that the library is open.
