    Library Hours

    Why have they reduced the hours that Taylor library is open for this semester? All students were asking for library hours to be extended for the past few years and the university have decided to go the opposite way! We need places to study outside of the main library and they need to be open from 8AM-8PM at least. It's now closed altogether on a Sunday which is a day for students who work on Saturdays to study.

    Tell us more about why you want the Students' Union to do it

    Not everyone can use the library comfortably (too much noise, too many people, no access to law resources). It's like the university is making studying less accessible. Open Taylor library back up and extend the hours of Sir Duncan to 24/7 at least a month before winter exams start! Two weeks of 24/7 library access is ridiculous for students that can't revise during daylight hours to prepare for the exams.

2:26pm on 25 Sep 25 It should be 24 hours for both Taylor and Sir Duncan. Macrobert isn't convenient to study as its always overcrowded and some people would be loud as its not a silent zone. It's either too hot or too cold and Its very limited to move to other rooms during or before exams season.

11:36pm on 25 Sep 25 Both libraries if not at least Sir Duncan Rice should be open 24/7, it’s an amazing asset of the university and should be open to students as much as possible for both a safe and warm place, and a study space.
