Group study rooms at the Amberg library are once again open around the clock
Concerns/Category:
In order to be able to offer students more rooms in the pre-examination phase, the library will reopen the two group study rooms 24 hours a day from Friday 10 January 2025. They can therefore be used around the clock.
A few rules must be observed so that we can maintain this service.
- If you no longer need the room, please leave it and do not leave anything lying around. It is possible to make a reservation for short breaks, but not for long ones. It is a matter of fairness not to block a room when you are not there.
- When you leave the room, please switch off the lights, turn down the heating and, above all, do not leave any windows open. We value sustainability and economical energy consumption.
- Do not leave anything lying around, least of all rubbish or empty bottles etc. Rubbish bins are available for this purpose.
- The group rooms are rooms for learning and working, but not rooms for leisure activities
If everyone adheres to the few rules, the rooms will be available at all times until 16 February.
Behavior in the 24-hour library
Concerns/Category:
There have been complaints about students using and viewing the library as a place to spend time.
The 24-hour library is a place to study and work, where students prepare for exams, write papers and also study in groups, which requires a quiet environment.
The 24-hour library is not a place for private meetings and conversations!
In the interest of everyone, we ask that you keep to this and behave quietly and considerately. Otherwise, we will suspend operations for a while, including over Christmas, when many will start studying for the upcoming exam period.
It is unfair for students to ignore or even verbally dismiss requests from others.
A place like this requires everyone to behave socially. If this is not possible, there will be consequences and everyone will suffer.
