Library etiquette

The library is a friendly and safe space. It's a quiet place to prepare your assignments, read and revise.  To help us to keep it this way we ask you to respect the staff and your fellow students by following these simple rules:

  • Drinks are allowed but please use lidded cups and bottles to avoid spills and put your empties in the recycling bins provided
  • No food allowed
  • Put all litter in the bin
  • Use headphones when listening to music and keep the volume low
  • Sit on the chairs not the desks or the floor
  • When talking to your friends keep the noise down
  • No talking allowed in the quiet study rooms
  • Absolutely no swearing
