Study spaces, updates and opening hours

• You do not need to book a study space in advance.
• Simply turn up at a study centre and find a free desk.
• You are responsible for cleaning your study space before and after you use it.

• Additional bookable rooms for group work are available to book within a Booker tile labelled ‘Study Room’. Book via the Booker platform.  
• If you cannot attend your booked study space, please make sure you cancel your booking so that someone else can use the space. Please give as much notice as possible.
• Individual desk booking is currently unavailable. 

If you’re having any issues booking study space, please contact our EdHelp team either online or if you are at the Main Library and King’s Buildings, visit the onsite team in person - they are more than happy to help.

The Carer and Child room at the Main Library offers those with childcare responsibilities to study alongside their children, following a mandatory induction.

Library users are welcome to make a short visit to the University Library accompanied by their children under the age of 16 for the purpose of making an enquiry, borrowing/dropping off a book, or similar task. A longer stay, for example, for the purpose of study, is not allowed, other than in the designated Main Library Carer & Child Room, or to attend a pre-arranged appointment with members of University staff based in the Library. As is stated in The University's Policy for child access to the University Library.
