Luton Library catering

I think it would be a good idea to install a lunch area in the library downstairs with a microwave and a kettle (epecially that). I know students are not supposed to eat and drink in the library, and it is a mess due to most students not complying, but at least being able to make an instant coffee downstairs when spending the night would make a difference. Also, are there any hot water facilities anywhere. I cannot afford the coffee anymore, prices are going up...

Thank you for your valuable feedback which helps us improve our facilities and services.

We have reviewed your request for a microwave and kettle in the library and unfortunately at this time this is not going to be possible. The Library has a policy that does not allow food and hot drinks to be taken onto the upper floors.

We believe that while most students would abide by this there some students would think that the presence of a microwave and a kettle may not align with this policy and would take advantage of it. As such at this time we will not be installing either.

Please be assured that students feedback is taken seriously and we will review this decision again in due course.

We are investigating introducing vending machines into the library space to try to cater for students who are studying out of the hours, along with improvements to the cafe facility is open which will also enhance the food provision in the building. Please ask at the canteen for some hot water to make your own drinks.
