Cho Room Public Reservation Information 

Thanks to the generous support of the Cho family, the Cornell University Library offers a reading room for graduate students in the Asia programs, which also serves as a seminar room for classes that rely on close proximity to the Cho Room collections.  The Cho Room houses selected core reference works and graduate study reserved readings on East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia as well as Asian artwork on loan from the Johnson Art Museum.

This room is reserved for graduate level seminars (500-700 level) as well as occasional library-sponsored events, with priority given to Asia-related events.

The Cho room offers wireless Internet access, a white board, and seating capacity for 8-10 people around the conference table with a total room capacity of 21 chairs (extra seating provided along the wall).
