Does Your Law School Have A Lactation Room?

American University’s Washington College of Law does. The Pence Law Library created a new service for its female students/mothers. One of its new study rooms has been designated as the “Lactation Room”. Following a trend of University Libraries across the country, Pence Law Library created the temporary “service” last spring. The use and appreciation for the service was overwhelming. There were many students who had to leave campus, run home, and then make their way back for classes and studies. The library provides only a convenient space, but the community is thrilled.
