Study Rooms and Their Booking

We have two new study rooms on board, bringing us back to a full complement of four study rooms in Aungier St.   The third is next to study room 2 and the 4th will be the old print room adjacent to the four computers that face the library desk.

Not coincidentally, we've decided to retire our online booking system, which will now be melted down for electron glue.  It served us for a more than a few years, but it's now time for it to leave the scene.

We are waiting for a new booking system, that promises to be a lot better than what's gone before, but these things take time, so in the interim, we are reverting back to a paper-based system.  Please make your room bookings at the library desk, while we sort out a better online system. Thank you for your patience!
