Van Pelt Carrels
All Penn students may request a reservable carrel starting on the first day of the academic year. Any requests made before that date will not be filled. Reservations last a full academic year and may be renewed for the summer.
When you reserve a carrel, you get to keep it for the whole year! Keep your books all in one place and study in your designated spot whenever the library is open. You can even have requested materials sent directly to your carrel.
