While the COVID rules are relaxing, there is still a requirement to book a study space in advance and to wear a face covering in the Library. This is to help to keep study spaces COVID safe by limiting the number of people in the study area at any one time.
You can now come into the Library to browse the collections and borrow material without making a booking. However, some students may still wish to reserve specific time slots to come to the Library to borrow or return books. The Click and Collect reservation system will still be in operation for anyone wishing to use it.
Social distancing is still in operation but at 1 metre from others,.
