There are various spaces throughout the library that can be utilized as a "quiet area." There are five separate rooms that can be accessed with closing doors (two activity rooms, three small study rooms, and one large study room). The library also has a long and winding orientation, so there are various areas to retreat behind book shelves with provided seating.

Comments/additional information about activity accommodations:

The Holmdel Library is able to rearrange furniture to meet the needs of its patrons. Chairs can be provided during yoga programs, and tables can be moved to allow for greater access. Also, considerations are given to "activity lengths" and "skill levels," especially when working with children. If you have any questions about accommodations during activities, please contact the library directly.
