Study zones

The libraries have three types of zoned areas. Please visit the zone which suits your needs and show respect to other library users.

We know that when students come to our libraries they to study in different ways. Some prefer collaboration and discussion, whilst others need absolute silence in order to be able to concentrate. To support this our libraries have zoned areas.
