Library Rules and Regulations

A summary of the general rules and regulations for using the University of Bath Library service.

Rules and Regulations

Food and drink

Once through the entrance turnstiles

  • Bottled soft drinks and water are permitted as well as drinks in re-useable cups with lids (e.g. KeepCups) and thermos flasks.
  • Disposable cups are not permitted. This is in support of the University’s environmental initiatives and ‘leave no trace’ campaign to reduce waste.
  • Food is not allowed in the Library Study areas

Before you go through the turnstiles

  • You can use the snack area to the right of the University Reception & Security Desk. Any food and drink is permitted in this area. It is a self-tidying area and we ask that you please be mindful of your fellow Library users.

Environment

  • Treat others with dignity, courtesy and respect.
  • Always carry your Library card as you need it to access the Library and its resources. Do not lend it to anyone.
  • Keep your belongings with you at all times. You are responsible for keeping them safe.
  • Conversation is acceptable in the social space in the Library entrance area, in the Level 2 study area and in the designated collaborative work spaces on Level 3 and Level 4 as long as you are not disturbing other Library users.
  • All other areas in the Library are designated 'quiet'
  • Sleeping is not acceptable in the Library

Library users should also read the University Regulations Section 10 in relation to Use of Facilities.
