Studying in your Library

We will:

You can help by:

using study spaces as they are designated, for silent or group study
being mindful that library spaces are for study, not socialising
not smoking, vaping or using eScooters within our library spaces
treating each other and staff with courtesy and respect
taking good care of library materials, property and equipment
using our library lockers if you are leaving the library for an extended period of time
