Studying in the library – Bath Spa University

There's a range of both walk-in and bookable study 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 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). 

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