Table Spaces
Individuals affiliated with the University or sponsored by the University can request to use a table space in the lobby of the Marriott Library for the purpose of distributing information to patrons, students or staff. Groups or individuals outside the University of Utah cannot schedule a table space in the Marriott Library. A table and chairs will be provided and placed in the lobby at either the West or East Entrance of the library.

The Marriott Library reserves the right to deny a reservation if a chartfield cannot be arranged prior to the scheduled time.
