Exam Period at the Law Library: room bookings, extended hours, respite room

As we approach the end of classes and the start of exams, we wish to ensure that all law students have the support and study environment that is needed in the law library. Please take note of the following updates and reminders.

  • For the period Monday, Dec 1 to Friday Dec 19
    • Study room access is limited to law students. Rooms may be booked at the front desk of the law library.
    • Extended weekend hours are in effect; we are open until 10 pm Saturdays and Sundays.
  • The respite room is available to anyone needing respite, and is not intended only to address medical conditions. Request the key from the loan desk staff (you will need to present photo ID).
  • Finally, we trust all law library users will respect the increased need for quiet study at this time.

Many thanks and happy studying.
