At the library

At the library

The BTH library offers students modern and well-equipped premises for studies. In the upper floor of the library, you find Lövsalen, which is designed as an Active Learning Center, with round tables for group work, screens, and whiteboards. At the ground floor, there is a quiet area to meet the demand for more quiet reading places. We are happy to receive suggestions for the development of the library premises and study environment.

Lövsalen at the library is available for students when the premises are not booked by staff, see current bookings here
