Q & A

Can I eat or drink in the library?

Each library will have different rules in terms of the consumption of food and drink in the library, so please check locally. 

In general, the libraries located in Coventry allow cold food and drink to be consumed in the library, hot food including food that was hot at the point of sale is not permitted. At in the library building the Lanchester Library and hot food will not be permitted past the gates and should be consumed in the café area. Customers may be asked to take any food outside the library if it smells strongly or is causing a mess, whereas the Libraries located on other sites/campuses only allow consumption of food and drink in designated areas and all drinks must be in screw-top bottles. Customers of all the University’s libraries are responsible for leaving study spaces clean and tidy for the next user.
