We’re looking for your tips and tricks to studying considerately in the Library, especially during the very busy Term 3. All submitted tips will be looked at and the most helpful will be shared on our Instagram Stories – so make sure you’re following us (@WarwickLibrary) to see them all.

Know Your Noise Zone!

There are three different noise zones in the Library. On the first and second floor you will find the Collaborative Zones where it is acceptable to collaborate with your peers on group work which means that talking is allowed. Everywhere else in the Library, including the stairwells, are Quiet Zones where minimal amounts of talking is allowed, when necessary, but you are urged to be quiet and whisper to allow those around you to concentrate enough to study. Lastly, on the 2^nd Floor extension is a Silent Study Room, where no talking is allowed, and sound should be kept to an absolute minimum.

Submit your tips to this question: “How do you ensure that you’re being considerate in the different noise zones while you study in the Library?” via this form to be in with a chance of winning! (You must be a current Warwick Student to enter).

We wish you all the best with your studying this term and wish you luck in this competition.

Competition is open from 7 May to 22 May. Terms and Conditions apply.
