Library Group Study

- Recurrent bookings, multiple or consecutive room bookings are not permitted and will be deleted by staff.
- There will be a 15 min grace period. If you and your group fail to turn up within 15 minutes from start time of booking, your booking will lapse and room will be available to other groups.
- Rooms cannot be "reserved" by leaving personal belongings in them. Unoccupied rooms may be given over to another group.
- All waste material must be removed from the room on departure. If there is litter in the room on entry, please report this to the Information Centre immediately and we will endeavour to take action against the offenders.
