What this guide no longer claims
The prior version labelled individual branches as having "available" or "limited" power outlets without a consistent official source. Those labels have been removed. Socket availability can change with furniture, maintenance and seat allocation. Bring a charged power bank and do not choose a branch solely on an old outlet report.
The previous entry for The LLiBrary also pointed to an NLB placeholder page. It has been removed from the recommended shortlist until a current official access page is available.
Seat booking
NLB's booking system is the current source for bookable study areas. Availability is time-sensitive and can differ by branch, so this page does not freeze a list of branches that happened to show seats on a particular day.
Regional backups
Before leaving home
- Check the branch page for closures or changed hours.
- Reserve a study seat if the area requires it.
- Bring identification needed for your NLB account.
- Download important notes for offline use.
- Carry a charger or power bank without assuming a socket will be free.
