Attention all Night Owls.
From Monday, April 14th 2008, there will be extended opening hours in the Library. The Quadrangle Reading Room on the Q (ground) floor will now be open after the library building closes (up to 1.45am). This is a study area only and there will be no access to books, photocopying or PCs. The room is self-contained with its own toilets and swipe access door. There are 88 reader spaces in the room and these will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. The room will be monitored by an invigilator who will have hotline access to Campus security.

The procedure for use of this room is that room will have to be vacated and all personal items removed when the Library closes. All library material will be removed from the room and entrances to the main library will be locked. Students can then re-enter through the external swipe access door. For security reasons all users of this room must also sign in with the invigilator.
Full details of Opening Hours can be seen here.
