Library etiquette
The following guidelines are to ensure the library runs smoothly and remains a useful resource for all.
- Keep noise to a minimum.
- Do not eat, or drink anything but bottled water.
- Use the self-issue machine to borrow books, even when you are taking them to the Labs, your office or the Common Room.
- Return your loans promptly
- Leave desks free for others to use – personal belongings may be left in the slots by the outsize books.
- Switch the lights off if you are the last person to leave!
