Pegasus Library's noise level signs help customers find suitable working spaces

Library users have different needs regarding voice use and concentration: it is necessary to talk when doing group work, but a lot of work that requires concentration and silence is also done in the library premises. By following the noise level signs in the library, you will find the right working space for your needs at the time.

Pegasus Library is not a completely quiet area, but the different spaces in the library have different noise levels. For example the quiet reading room Lukupesä (PK226) located in the History collection hall on the second floor of the library, is a completely silent area where you are not allowed to talk or use mobile devices. See the location of Lukupesä.

In working areas such as the Linguistics and History collection halls located on the second floor, the Reading Room Loan Storage Space PK201, and the self-study space PK315 located on the third floor gallery, you can work with a laptop, for example, but the devices must be kept silent and talking is prohibited.

The lounge area includes the library lobby areas where normal use of voice and conversation is allowed.
