Lot's of books and resources are available here for study, very calm and quiet environment. The great feature is, It is open 24/7.

The library was a great place for studying and having a course review with colleagues. The demarcation of the various study rooms was effectively thought through to enhance effective learning.

Lovely if you can get a pod to work in and nice quiet area but in the booths people seem to talk real loud and don't care if others are working on their assignments and trying to get them in. But it can be really busy on assignment week when due in.

Good library, but one photocopier downstairs in the foyer is not enough. Hot meals at 5.40 is a bit expensive for students. The microwave only heats the top of the meal and the noodles were stuck together and cold. Need a proper mechanism to heat meals!

Confortable place to work and study, very wide selection of books and computers to use.

Update: due to the covid pandemic, you're required to book a timeslot of up to 2 hours only to enter the library, which is inconvenient (written on 26th May 2021).

The great features with 24*7 open and you can also have an e-book if you want on your request. They have a great facility to get print out of your document from your portals as well and you can book a room for group studies also.

The staff are good, the resources etc ditto but the majority of students are loud. At least for a library. Phone conversations are held, vaping even or whatever. At least in the half dozen visits I've done. I'm old enough to know libraries are meant to have a certain sound.

If you're a mature student go elsewhere for a quiet place to work

Love the open space of the library. The high cealings and big windows really help if you have to study for long hours. Also, the ladies working at the cafe are simply amazing. It makes a bit difference as it sets a tone for the place.
