Good to know

These are the library's own conditions for using a booked space:

  • Sit down within 15 minutes of your start time, or the seat is released.
  • Seats are for study and research only.
  • Don't squeeze more people into a discussion room than its capacity.
  • The Library can cancel a booking if these rules aren't followed.
