Welcome to the UvA Library!
Studying is a big part of university life and we make it work for you.
From collaborative zones to quiet spaces for deep focus, you’ll always find the study space that fits your day.
Check real-time availability, book a room for group projects, or reserve your own study cabinet.
You’ll find library spaces in almost every UvA building and of course in the brand-new University Library at the University Quarter, open until midnight.
Study, create, connect: that’s the UvA Library.

Working on a project? Or just want to study next to your friends for some extra motivation?
The Library is here for you; on every campus.
We offer different collaboration spaces:
from large rooms where you can simply sit and study together, to smaller project rooms with whiteboards and screens for focused group work.
You can choose the big collaboration room on the ground floor, or go up to the third floor to study together in a bright, open space.
Some days you need quiet and privacy. Other days you just want to be around your buddies.
We get that, and we have a space for all of it.
You can easily book a small of medium-size project rooms via Officebooking.
Wherever and however you study, the Library is there to support you.
Create, collaborate and connect.

In this second part of ‘Meet the Staff: Desk Librarians’ Remko and Larissa show you what you can borrow at the library counters across all campuses.
From noise-cancelling headphones and USB-C cables to ergonomic keyboards, mice, and even screens: everything you need for any study session.
Have you booked a project room? Don’t forget to grab your bookmarks.
One simple request: please return everything so the next student can use it too.
And one more reminder when using the library’s facilities: please keep the chairs in the project rooms where they belong. It helps everyone enjoy the same great service.
