The UCBA Library is happy to announce we have lap desks available for checkout at the Information Desk. Traditional desk seating can be at a premium during certain points in the day and it’s not always comfortable to work in one of the chairs or benches in the alcoves! Lap desks may be checked out for a two hour period.
