Thanks to the work of our wonderful reps, the library will be trialling staying open for 24 hours in the month of March!
These last 2 years the Union and course reps have been working together to campaign to extend the library opening hours, and allow students to access it at any time of the day.
We know how tough exam times can be, and that hours of productivity and avaialbilty can vary between students,.Having the library open 24/7 makes the space more inclusive and caters to all types of learners.
The library has taken on board your responses, championed by your course reps, and has agreeed to keep the library open 24/7 for a trial period, The trial period will take place from 02/03-27/03. In order to keep the space safe and respectful, they are asking students to use the space as a quiet study area and any students being loud and disruptive will be asked to leave. Students must also bring their student IDs to the library in order to gain entrance.
We trust students will adhere to these rules and use the space respectfully at all hours of the day. We hope that if this trial period goes well, the library will be able to remain open 24/7 indefinitely.
Major thank you to all the reps that have contributed to this campaign and let's hope this is the beginning of great change to our campus.
