Level 5 has always been a fan favourite for users who prefer peaceful study space. We have reorganised the area to provide 40 additional study spaces and created a beautiful display area to showcase our resources. You will still find luscious greenery both inside and on view from the windows.

Moving to Level 3, we have reorganised the space and improved the soundproofing to keep this area a great place for quiet study. It now holds 218 study spaces. We have a large area of PC and monitor desks and added private study pods.

We are saddened to hear that the children's author Allan Ahlberg has died, aged 87. With his wife, the illustrator Janet Ahlberg - and later other great illustrators - he wrote a stream of brilliant classics that made bedtime a joy for children and adults. Here are a few we hold at the IOE Library.
