Welcome to the Library
The library has study areas, computers and printers that can be used by both students and the general public.
Study environment
The library has study areas and a quiet zone. Group study rooms are located around campus.
For those who want to study in peace and quiet, there are quiet study areas at the back of the library. There are also a number of larger tables for individual study in the middle of the library. At the small tables closest to the entrance, it is possible to speak in a low-key tone.
At the far end of the library is the quiet zone. Conversation is not allowed there.
In the rest of the library, low-key conversations are allowed, but keep in mind that the sounds easily spread to the quiet zone. Be considerate of your fellow students.
There are no group study rooms available in the library. Group work is referred to the group study rooms located around campus.
