Behaviour post 10pm

I am a third year student that is currently studying in my final year. I was thrilled to know that the entire Luton library would be open until 2am. Studying on the other levels ensure silent studying which is crucial at this time for many. I was disappoint to find out at 9.45pm yesterday that the upper levels are now closing at 10pm, we were told that we could study in the IT suite and in the area adjacent to the IT suite. I went down stairs in the IT suite, and found it very similar to a school playground or a common room. People were being loud, and generally 'messing' about. I went into the other area and found that it was just the same. Many people are unable to work under these conditions especially when carrying out the final major project which people are still working on. I am very disappointed that the upper floor late opening times have not accommodated for all students and would request that consideration needs to made for all students. Extending opening time for a further couple of weeks would really be beneficial for ALL.

Thank you for your comments. I am glad you found the three weeks of extended opening for the library floors at Park Square beneficial. I am sorry but resources will not extended to continuing with the extended opening for the library floors. I will pass you comments onto our security team to ensure that some level of working environment is maintained. Please pass your concerns onto the security teams if you find behaviour unacceptable.
