 Library Pods

The Library and Knowledge Service has a number of acoustic pods for people who require a space for quiet conversation – whether in person or online.

Single person pod

If you need a space to attend an online meeting or training course, you can book one of our single person pods – we have two available, Pod 1A and Pod 1B.

Pods can be booked Monday – Friday for up to 2 hours between 9.00am and 5.00pm. Please see the booking form for the availability calendar. 

Four person pod

If you want to book a space for a small group you can book one of our four person pods (we also have two of these, Pod 4A and Pod 4B) with wall-mounted screens that can connect to your laptop. Laptops are available to borrow if required.

Pods can be booked for 2 - 4 people, Monday – Friday for up to 2 hours between 9.00am and 5.00pm. Please see the booking form for the availability calendar.

Please note:

• Only one two hour period per day can be booked.
• You will be required to vacate the pod promptly at the end of your timed booking, having ensured all spaces are clear and tidy. Please inform a member of library staff when you have finished.
• Acoustic pods lower noise levels but are not totally sound proof and we would ask you to be considerate of confidentiality as well as other library users.
• The pods are available for teaching, study and meetings where users will be in conversation. If you require a quiet area, these can be found throughout the library.
• Bottles of water are permitted to be taken into the pods, but no other food or hot drinks are permitted.
