House rules

The University Library has the following house rules:

• Access with access card only
• Water bottles and coffee cups are permitted throughout the building, with the exception of the Special Collections room
• You're considerate of your fellow students
• You leave your study place tidy and clean

The building has study zones and coffee corners, with different rules of conduct for each zone. On your right are some examples of the signage that can be found on the doors in the different zones.

Smoking

The whole University of Groningen is smoke-free! That means it is not allowed to smoke in any UG building - which also applies to the roof terraces of the University Library City Centre!
Moreover, there are smoke-free zones directly around the entrances of the UG buildings.
