Library Etiquette

We want our library spaces to feel inclusive, welcoming and considerate of all members of our university community. To this end, we ask our users to observe the following:

• You may bring hot and cold drinks into the library if they are covered

• You may bring snacks and cold food into the library but not hot food

• Please put used food and drink containers into the recycling or waste or bins provided

• Please do not bring alcohol into the library, study areas or rooms

• You may smoke or vape only in the designated areas outside our university buildings

• Please keep your mobile on silent when you are in the library. If you need to take a call, go to the stairwell or outside the library

• If you are working in a silent study area, please remember to stay silent

• Library users are welcome to make a short visit to the library accompanied by their children under the age of 16 for the purposes of making an enquiry, borrowing/dropping off a book, or similar task. Parents and carers must keep continual and close supervision of their child (the child should be at their side throughout the visit.)

• Personal belongings should not be left unattended
