The refurb is great, 5 stars for that. But the fact that there are gestapo library staff constantly walking around to check if anyone has brought food or drink in makes it feel very unwelcoming. I thought Leeds University was a place of adult education, not a creche. Dunno why, it just really pisses me off sitting in here and seeing a member of staff slide by with their head and eyes scouring the area like a supermarket security guard, making it blindingly obvious that they're on the hunt for evil students who've come in with a bite of food or a drink that isn't water. Surely there are better things to do than treat adult learners like 10 year olds. And so I reduce the rating down to 3 stars.

The Edward Boyle Library re-opened its doors this term following the partial completion of the building. The newly refurbished space now offers a modern and inviting environment providing 1000 study spaces and a new Postgraduate Hub on Level 13.

A good library well organized A lot of study spaces for individual or group Near roger steven building...

My new favourite library. Really nice and relaxing study space! Plus it's open until midnight so you can get a lot of studying done!

An incredible place to study. With the recent refurbishment the building is up to the same high quality standard as the Laidlaw Library but much bigger and practical. The staff were particularly helpful on my visit when I had lost my card and really do go overboard to help you. As others have said it is definitely one of, if not the, best place to study in Leeds.

Very ambient study environment. Lot of study space and resources to support the study. The group study room available on request for group works. The cafe in the ground floor make sure that you don't need to worry much when you are hunger, as it is just few steps away.

One of the best libraries on campus. It has group work spaces, silent study rooms, private meeting rooms, screens to share info in meetings, printers, and a floor dedicated to postgraduate students. It is also next to the Edit Room, where you can get food, snacks, and coffee. Very convenient in any way.

I live University of Leeds, Edward Boyle Library is my second home in Leeds. ^_^

Nice place for studying! The seat and desk are large, and the environment is quiet.

It provides numerous spaces for study. But, I notice that the air ventilation in this library is a bit insufficient for study.

Great library for staff and students Lots of space, lots of room for study Easy to print

It's one of my favourite libraries in University of Leeds.. the best part about this is even in corona times it is open till midnight which really helps me study..

Staff are super lovely and helpful and there is plenty of space to choose from depending on if you prefer to look out into the window, or down to the people below. Only grievance is it’s hella cold😭 so dress warmly!

Tried to go at midnight, was open but couldn't find a space that was avaliable or wasn't likely to be in the walking line of anyone else, though it would be more empty but alas not.
