LibAnswers: Customer Services

Yes - 3 of our Library sites have group study rooms available.

All study rooms can be booked in advance via Resource booker 

All rooms can be used without a booking if they are clearly not in use. 

A person with a valid booking for that room will always have priority use of the room. If a room is in use by a group without a booking and a person with a booking arrives then they must be allowed its use immediately and those without a booking must vacate the room at once.
