Response to Library Suggestion Form – Silent Study Area

We recently received anonymous feedback regarding the silent study / reading area in the library. 

We appreciate that the location of library, adjacent to the central staircase, is unfortunate, and can lead to disruption during class changeoever periods.  However, we are not able to physically move either the library or staircase.  Therefore, I would ask all students to be mindfull of others as they enter and leave classes.  Please keep your noise levels to a miniumum, and avoid congregating either inside or outside the library, as this is disruptive to library users.

The library does have a silent study policy, and this is enforced by library staff.  However, we are not always aware of all noise in the library, especially in hidden areas of the library.  Therefore, if any library users are disobeying the silent study policy, please do inform a member of library staff, and they will deal with the matter accordingly.
