Swem Library now has a nursing mothers room. Room 308, located on the third floor of Swem Library, has been set aside to provide a private and comfortable place for a woman to nurse or use a breast pump. The room is open to all William & Mary faculty, staff, students and library patrons. Access to the room is available during library operating hours.
The room is equipped with a lockable door, several electrical outlets for plugging in a pump, a comfortable chair, "occupied" sign on the door, hand sanitizer and privacy shades on the window. Restrooms are located nearby.
The room is on a first come, first served basis. To use the room, check out the key at the Circulation Desk, first floor. You will need to show ID (e.g. W&M ID or driver’s license). More information can be found in the room use policy.
