FAQ

Can I reserve a desk in the Library?

Ensure your belongings are kept safe and spaces are available for other clients. Check your belongings and power cables do not obstruct walkways or exits. Please take your belongings with you. Leaving personal belongings on desks or chairs to reserve a study space is not permitted.

To save time finding somewhere to study in the Library, UNSW students can reserve individual or collaborative study spaces in Main and Law Libraries.

There are a variety of different spaces available to suit individual needs including desks, height-adjustable desks and desktop computers. In real time, you can check how many individual desks are unoccupied and where to find them in both Library locations.

Book a study space

  • If a space is not in use you can check or book it on the spot using the QR code.
  • If someone occupies your booked study space, show them the confirmation email.
  • Remember to arrive at your reserved space within 15 minutes of your booking start time. Otherwise, your booking is forfeited and available for anyone to use.

If you notice areas that have unattended property, please contact Library staff or UNSW security. If you have lost property in the Library, items are held for approximately 24 hours before collection by UNSW security. For more information see Left property policy.
