Student parents at Boise State<\/h2>\n

Albertsons Library\u2019s mission is to support student success through open access to resources and relationship-rich education. We believe students are more likely to use the library when they see themselves represented in the space. Several years ago research completed by Dworak and Keyes revealed the number of student parents at Boise State is higher than national averages. Boise State seniors also spend significantly more time caring for dependents than students at peer institutions (9.4 hours compared to 6.3 hours per week). This research prompted the library to take action.<\/p>\n

Opening the Family Study Room<\/h2>\n

Initial findings from Dworak\u2019s and Keyes\u2019 research prompted the library to create a Family Study Room for student parents and their children (12 and under). To make the space enjoyable for children, the room is filled with toys, books, small furniture, desks and computers. It opened in 2021, with rave reviews. Click here to reserve the Family Study Room online.<\/a><\/p>\n

How academic libraries can support student parents<\/h2>\n

Student parents can feel unwelcome and invisible at their institutions. Supporting Students<\/em> is a guide for how academic libraries can engage with, and support, student parents on campus. It provides a framework for how faculty and staff can lead the charge in making their campus family-friendly.<\/p>\n
