Silent and quiet zones

For those who like to study in silence there are designated silent areas on levels four, five and six where no talking is allowed. On levels five and six there is also a Silent Computer Room where you can use a Library computer or your laptop but no talking is permitted.

All other study areas in the Library are quiet areas where noise must be kept to a minimum. Talking is allowed but it must not disturb others. Clients may considerately consume food that is not noisy, odorous, messy or otherwise disruptive in these areas. Our aim is to provide a non-disruptive environment conducive to study.

Silent and quiet areas are marked on floor plans that are available online or pick up a copy in the Library.
