Quiet study on every level

From 9 Nov to 4 Dec, Quiet Study Areas expand to all library levels, so there's more room for focused work. Here's how it works:

✓Keep it quiet on all levels of the library (excluding the Learning Commons at both libraries & Graduate Lounge 1 in Li Ka Shing Library).
✓Need to discuss or work in a group? Head to the Learning Commons. 
Group/collaborative work within this designated area is highly encouraged to be of lower volume. 

We care about minimising disruptions during your focused work sessions and promoting a noise-conscious culture where respect for others within the library grounds is upheld. We hope that through this initiative, noise concerns will be moderated to everyone's benefit.
