Reading Room
There is a Reading Room at basement level within the Library building. It provides extra study spaces, and offers extended opening hours: open week days and weekends from 07.00 to 01.30.
Entry to the Library Reading Room, during all hours of opening, is by an access control system. All NUIG student ID Cards are encoded automatically for access to this facility. This is to ensure that the space is retained for NUIG students only.
In the unlikely event of your card not working, please contact University Security on accesscontrol@nuigalway.ie and provide your name and ID Number.
Postgraduate Reading Rooms
There are two Postgraduate Reading Rooms in the James Hardiman Library which aim to provide a quiet study environment specifically for postgraduate students.
The room on the first floor has 24 study spaces, and the one on the second floor has 26 study spaces plus three networked computers.
