GOS ICH Library reopening 17 May 2021

We are pleased to announce that the GOS ICH library will be welcoming back users from 17th May 2021. The library will be offering socially distanced, pre-booked study spaces and a Click and Collect service. Users may return library items in the returns bin located by the library enquiry desk.


In order to keep our staff and library users safe we are following government guidelines for higher education libraries. This means that there will be a one-way system in place in the library and a reduction of library service hours. We would therefore like to remind our users that they can only access the library to return books, take-up a pre-booked study space, or to collect a requested library materials.


The library opening hours are: Monday - Friday, 10:00 - 15:00 only.

  

Study spaces and click and collect are available to UCL staff and students, and GOSH staff.


For information and to prebook a study space, visit:  www.ucl.ac.uk/library/libraries-and-study-spaces/bookable-study-spaces-help.

Wellbeing rooms at GOS ICH

Image
For students and staff looking for a moment of calm from their studies or working day may be interested to know that last summer the EDI team introduced two new spaces to be the GOS ICH community. There are two wellbeing rooms, situated on the ground floor of the Philip Ullman Wing, where you can pray, meditate or reflect. It’s also a place for those who are looking for a calm space to take a bit of time out.  Room G0.1 is intended for multi-faith prayer and religious observance, and as a quiet space. Room G0.02 is a dedicated quiet space for wellbeing activities such as meditation, mindfulness practise, quiet reading, or for organised wellbeing activities (except on Fridays between 12:30pm and 2:30pm when it is reserved for prayer).
