Quiet in the libraries? Not so much…
We’re down to the final few weeks of the Winter Term…and the libraries are not exactly havens of peace and quiet. Group work is a major component of most programmes but we need to provide quiet study areas as well. The library staff at both campuses are working hard to accommodate these very different needs. Could we ask for your help? Please respect the need for quiet study space in these few final weeks.
Book a study room in advance!
Group study rooms at both campus libraries can be booked up to one week in advance! Visit the circulation desk at either library to book your day and time…and no, room service is not provided…but we do have markers for the white boards!
