Boots Library
The Boots library is the flagship library of Nottingham Trent University. It is situated in the centre of the City site and supports the schools of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment, Art & Design, Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Law School and Social Sciences. It is located in a modern purpose build building, completed in 1998 at a total cost of £13 million. The library contains more than 533,000 books and 2500 journals in addition to DVDs, newspapers and magazines. The library is set over four levels plus a further level dedicated to 24 hour computing facilities. The library is divided into three zones based on a traffic light system - silent study (red), quiet study (amber) and group study (green). Other facilities within the library include multiple bookable group study rooms (each with a computer), photocopying, scanning and computer workstations with internet access and specialist software on every level. The Boots library is supported by branch libraries on the Clifton and Brackenhurst campuses which primarily serve the schools located there, and include additional Animal Planet digital facilities.

Famous quotes containing the words boots and/or library:
“In the present age, alas! our pens are ravished by unlettered authors and unmannered critics, that make a havoc rather than a building, a wilderness rather than a garden. But, alack! what boots it to drop tears upon the preterit?”
—Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898)
“The fear of failure is so great, it is no wonder that the desire to do right by one’s children has led to a whole library of books offering advice on how to raise them.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
