Study facilities in Barnet Libraries
Skip to:
We are pleased to offer study space for students. This is available in both staffed hours and self-service opening times.
Self-service opening allows eligible library card holders to use libraries during unstaffed opening times. Young people aged 14 and over can register for self-service opening by completing a form at any Barnet Library. The form must be signed by a parent or guardian.
Study facilities rules
To create a positive study space please note the following:
- study space is limited and is provided on a first come first served basis. We are not always able to accommodate every student
- please share tables so we can accommodate as many people as possible
- some areas of the library are reserved for users who are not studying
- please respect other library users’ and their needs
- sockets are limited. We recommend you charge your device before you come to the library as you may not be able to plug in
- if you do have safe access to a socket please ensure that wires do not trail across the floor
- please ensure people can get to the library shelves to browse
- PC desks are only available for people using that PC. Please do not study at PC desks
- please do not let anyone into the library if they do not have their own library card or they are not registered for self-service opening
- please keep fire escapes clear

- please be quiet
- please place all litter in bins provided
