This fall, CSN libraries across all three campuses introduced solo study pods and sensory kits designed to help students feel more comfortable, stay focused and manage sensory needs while on campus.

The individual study pods offer nearly soundproof spaces where students can read, work or recharge with fewer distractions. Each pod includes adjustable lighting and temperature controls, allowing students to create an environment that works best for them.

Study pods are available on a first-come, first-served basis and may be checked out for up to three hours.

Students can also borrow sensory kits for up to two hours for use inside the library. Each kit includes several tools that may support focus and sensory regulation, including textured stress balls, infinity cubes, a weighted lap pad and noise-dampening ear covers.

Students can choose the tools they already know work for them or explore something new.

Both resources are available with a CSN library card. Visit your campus library to check availability and learn more.

The study pods and sensory kits were made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records.
