The Library recognises that there may be occasions when a parent or guardian needs to bring a child into the Library when using our facilities.

We will endeavour to accommodate these requests whenever possible. However, we must also consider the needs of our other customers, and preserve a suitable study environment, particularly during exam time.

We therefore ask that:

• parents/guardians accompanied by children use the Family Study Room on Level 3
• the child is accompanied and supervised at all times by a parent or guardian
• the parent or guardian is sensitive to the needs of other customers
• access is limited to Levels 2 & 3 of the Library
• access to IT labs within the Library is not permitted, and children are not allowed to use the computers in the Library

If you require assistance in getting books from silent areas of the Library, staff will be happy to help. You can request this in advance of your visit by contacting us.

The Library also holds a large collection of children’s books, and we have facilities for breastfeeding and baby changing – please ask staff.
