When you use our university libraries there are different learning spaces available, so you can decide what is best for your purpose.
Social learning areas
We recognize that you can learn from your friends so we have provided social study areas in all our libraries.

·Bookings can be made for the current week and the following week.

Silent study spaces
We know that on occasion you may prefer to stud yon your own. To help you achieve this we have individual quiet or silent study areas.
In order to preserve the quiet study environment and avoid disturbing other students, discussion about your course or exams, or using mobile phones isn't permitted anywhere in these areas.
Food, drink and phones
Cold drinks and snacks can be consumed（消费）in most areas of the libraries though we ask that you help keep the learning environment clean and pleasant for everyone by clearing rubbish into the bins provided.
Mobile phones can be used in the social learning areas and group study rooms but not in the silent study spaces or the hallways or stairs that lead to those areas. We ask that you switch your phone to silent mode when you come in the library.
