The Library is a vibrant and busy venue at interval and lunch time in particular, as young men make use of the bean bags and comfortable chairs for reading and playing the available board games.

The Library is also utilised as a teaching space when learning activities require additional print and electronic resources. The Library is equipped with a data projector and television with Chromecast, allowing what is displayed on a computer screen to also be displayed via the television screen.
