Dublin Rd. library has opened up extra seating on the ground floor of the library in the Training Room and the IT Room - these are silent individual spaces.

We appreciate that you may be studying hard over long hours, but when the library is busy there may not be enough seats for everyone - so please vacate your space if you are taking a break. We also advise you never to leave your valuables unattended, as unfortunately thefts may occur.

Don’t forget that library staff are here to help you locate any materials you may need as you prepare for your exams. If you have any questions please just ask!

Good Luck with your exams from all the library staff.
