There's a range of both walk-in and bookable study rooms and seats in the Library at Newton Park.

You can choose from quiet locations within the Library with easy access to browse the book shelves, spaces with PCs, or spaces with tables and power where you can use your own device.

To guarantee a study space in the Library, please book a room or a seat using our booking system.

If you're looking for a comfortable place to read or just some quiet reflection, walk-in spaces include some more informal seating (armchairs, sofas and pods). 

We also have a sensory study room :

Alternatively please speak to a member of the Library staff, via chat, email, or when you arrive at the Library.
