We offer a variety of bookable and non-bookable study spaces across our sites. You can also check out DSU's interactive Study Space Map for details of available spaces across campus.
Simply visit one of our sites, find an available seat and stay for as little or as long as you wish! Bookable spaces in Bill Bryson Library will be clearly marked - please only sit in these areas if you have pre-booked your space.
Our bookable study spaces are available in Bill Bryson Library - see our guide for more information and how to book.
