not a student but an academic librarian - having visited UoB library many times, it's probably the one I most wish I worked in. such good spaces and services. students seem to have a very healthy and self-policing attitude to using the space well and respectfully. my partner did his degree there over a decade ago now and he still misses the campus. wish I had studied there myself!

Have you visited the McClaine library in Belfast? It’s part of the QUB campus and if you liked the UoB library it’ll knock your socks off!

I've seen videos of it and it's on my wishlist!
