Individual silent and quiet study spaces are available. The library uses a traffic light system to indicate the type of study space:

• Red: Silent space (work here without any disturbance)
• Yellow: Quiet space (talk quietly and briefly here)
• Green: Group space (discuss you work here in groups)

Group study rooms can be booked by clicking on the book a study room link from the library home page.

Please do not bring hot or smelly food into the Library, and make sure all drinks are lidded. Alcohol is strictly forbidden across all campuses.
