Opening hours etc

Can you make my university library 24hr...
Some University libraries are run by students...
We do not have a silent room for study...

Thank you for your detailed list of suggestions I will try and answer them all for you.

Opening the LRC 24hr x 7 days a week has serious cost implications in terms of security, power and cleaning. The additional £80K required to do this is simply not available to do this at this time. We are however looking into opening for longer at Park Square very soon. Follow our Twitter feed for further details in the next few weeks:

Student patrol: The LRC is staffed by sympathetic highly skilled people, suggesting that students could do the same job would distract from their studies and offer an inconsistent service to the students that use the library. The LRC is patrolled by security after 10pm at night. We would not like to put students at risk by suggesting that they patrol the library at these times.

The whole of level 3 is a silent area please be sure that you check the full range of Facilities within the LRC. If you are in doubt it might be quicker to talk to staff on the Customer Service desk.

Thank you for your interest

Temperature at Polhill Library 18.2.10

The library is too cold, it is 11 degrees C when it should be 21. It does not help when we are trying to get our work done as we are too cold and its a distraction.

I am sorry that you were uncomfortable yesterday evening in Polhill Library. There is no requirement to have the library at 21 degrees centigrade. The University does however want to maintain a comfortable work environment for all our students. Thursday's drop in temperature and the snow was a challenge for the heating system. The heating will be looked at and hopefully this can be avoided in the future.
