Patrick Power Library Booking Policy

Patrick Power Library Booking Policy

The Patrick Power Library is pleased to provide access to a limited number of computers, study carrels, tables and study rooms for use by Saint Mary's students, staff and faculty.  These items are available on the first floor of the Library, by appointment only.

Access to these spaces is in accordance with public health and the University’s Occupational Health and Safety Team.

  • Each booking is limited to three (3) hours per day:
  • The Library will close between bookings for cleaning. All patrons must vacate the building during this time, regardless of whether they have booked another appointment on the same day.
  • Bookings are for individual use only.
  • Appointments can be booked up to seven days in advance.
  • Masks must always be worn in the Library, and a safe distance of 2 metres (6 feet) kept between all library patrons.

In the event of the Library closing, patrons will be notified as soon as possible.

Please respect the needs of fellow Library users by keeping the noise level to a minimum
