McDermott Library provides several types of rooms for group study and/or meetings. Library rooms are prioritized for cadets, faculty, and staff use.  As such, a valid @afacademy.af.edu or @us.af.mil e-mail address is required to reserve a room.  Requests to reserve a library room by anyone else and for any other purpose other than individual/group study or for periods beyond those allowed by the reservation system are addressed by the Library Administrative office on a case-by-case basis with a minimum 48-hour notice.
