24 hour learning spaces

Library Learning Spaces

Your library has dedicated study areas so you can study collaboratively, quietly, or silently.

Please respect your fellow users by taking a look at what behaviour is appropriate in each area of the library. When you visit the library, you will see each study area has coloured coded signs to help you identify which area you are in. The directional signs and desk labels will also say the name of the area and zone.

Collaborative

Collaborative work is a huge part of your time at Hallam, and library collaborative spaces are great if you want to work with friends and course mates either side by side or on a group project
