McClay Library & Libraries at Queen's
In light of the latest restrictions announced by the NI Executive, in effect from 26 December 2020, travelling to the University for the purposes of education is permitted if you are unable to study at home.
Please note that face coverings are now mandatory both while moving throughout the library, as well as while seated at your desk. Some members of our community will not be able to wear a face covering due to a hidden disability, medical condition or other exemption as specified by the PHA. Although you should not be challenged for not wearing a mask, exemption cards are available for students who deem themselves to be medically exempt from wearing a face covering. Exemption cards can be picked up from the Information Desk in the Student Guidance Centre.
Group Study rooms are not available, but if you have caring responsibilities, please contact the Library to make arrangements to book a Study Space. Individual Study Spaces are still available for booking on Queen's Online.
Please note that if you are using the Library to attend online classes, you can use any of the Student Computing Areas to tune in virtually. Please bring headphones/earphones to listen to the class.
You are advised to regularly check the Library Opening Hours and the McClay Library Occupancy to ensure that space is available.
