So the new library… After a £9m investment by Lord Laidlaw himself this new library is a breath of fresh air. I visited both today and yesterday after vein officially opened to students and just wow! Open spaces, coffee shop inside, computers everywhere but also a modern feel. Having WiFi throughout and plug sockets at both tables and private booths the library really caters for the modern student and the new ways of collaboration and mobile personal devices everywhere. With over 6 km of book shelving the new library will mainly catering for law students but will initially be home to the majority of books from the Eddy B library whilst it undergoes its two year refurbishment program. If you’re around Leeds and fancy a coffee or a browse do take a look inside!
