Bill Bryson Library:
- Cold food as well as lidded, bottled and canned drinks are permitted to be consumed throughout the whole Library.
Following feedback gathered from students during the 24/7 opening March 2019, hot food will be allowed in the Bill Bryson Library after 18:00. All hot food is to be eaten in the café area on Level 2 only. Students are asked to keep the space tidy and place all litter in bins.
Our priority is to provide a pleasant environment that is conducive to study. The Small Island Café provides a mixed area both for study and where cold food may be eaten. Please use the bins provided and be considerate of other users.
Palace Green Library: has a No Food and Drink policy with no exceptions, due to the unique and exceptional nature of collections in that Library.
Leazes Road Library: also operates a No Food policy, while lidded, bottled and canned drinks are allowed. A social area with vending machines is available just outside the library where food can be eaten.
