House rules TU Delft Library

TU Delft Library wants to offer its visitors optimal facilities to study and consult information sources. In addition, the library also functions as a meeting place.

  • Treat the study places and all facilities with respect.
  • Show respect to your fellow visitors.
  • Drinking and eating small snacks are permitted in the study areas, but please enjoy your meals in the Living room or at the Coffee star. 
  • In the Central Hall, the Blue Room and the project rooms, it is permitted to talk and make telephone calls on a low sound level.
  • The Glass Hall (the large computer room), the Kegel (the Cone), the Orange Room, the Trésor reading room and the Red Room are for silent study only. Talking and making phone calls are not permitted.
