Using the Library Buildings

It’s great to see so many students back in the library, using our building for different purposes. Whether you are watching an online lecture, doing an online exam, working on an assignment with friends or doing some independent research, there’s a study space that’s just right for your needs.

The ground floor is a collaborative zone. It’s a good space for discussion and group work. You can talk to Library and Learning Centre staff on the ground floor as well.

The first floor is a quiet zone. There are still spaces for collaboration but conversations tend to be quieter here than on the ground floor.

The second floor is a silent zone. If you like working with no distractions, this is the area for you. There are lots of individual study desks here for independent work.

Group study rooms (Cairns) and study pods (Townsville) can be booked on the library website. They are great spaces for recording audio or video, attending Zoom meetings or private study.

Mobile phones should be answered on the ground floor only. Please switch your phone to silent if you are working on the first or second floors.

You are welcome to bring cold food and covered drinks into the library. Please dispose of your rubbish in the bins provided.

Your student ID card is needed to access the library building outside of our staffed hours. Please note that the second floor of the Cairns library is available during staffed hours only. You can see our opening hours on the library website. Security staff can be contacted to escort you to your car after hours.

As in all public places, we recommend that you do not leave valuables unattended.

Please be considerate of your fellow students, and let the library staff know if something needs our attention. Whether you prefer studying with a social vibe or in complete silence, there is a place for you in the JCU Library.
