The library offers a flexible environment with various places for studying. The places are designed to suit everything from individual study to group work. There are both quiet zones and zones where you may have conversations and meetings. If you need to take a break, you can reserve your place with a parking disc.

The seating environments at our libraries accommodate both individual and group work. You are free to talk, but please be considerate towards people sitting nearby. Students have the opportunity to reserve group rooms at the Orkanen Library.

Student i tysta zonen

All our libraries have spaces where you can study individually in a quieter or silent environment. In the silent area, no conversations are allowed, and both computers and phones should be on silent mode.

Playing board games in the Library

Do you want a break from your reading or group studies? The Orkanen Library and Health and Society Library offer a selection of board games. Relax in the library café, or enjoy the view for a moment, for example in the 'Arbour' (Bersån) where you can find our big circular sofa.

Events and exhibitions at the Library

Draw inspiration from the exhibitions, especially at the Orkanen library. You can view students’ art at the Students’ Gallery, learn about current research in the Researchers’ Gallery, or discover contemporary topics on the book wall at the entrance.

The silent room

Are you looking for a moment of stillness, away from everyday stress? The University has three silent rooms where you can pray, meditate, practice yoga, or just sit and enjoy the silence for a while. The rooms are open to everyone and cannot be reserved ahead of time. The rooms can be found at the Orkanen Library, the Faculty of Odontology, and Health and Society.
