The cards are available at the entrances and service counters of Chi Wah Learning Commons and Libraries and can be used up to six times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Never leave your valuables unattended.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\">If you wish to leave for longer than 30 minutes, take all your belongings with you. After 30 minutes, other students will be able to use any vacated space by setting unattended items to one side. Our colleagues may also clear desks that have been left unattended for more than 30 minutes, or that have been left without a completed study-break card.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\">The cards will be available from Monday 15 November to Friday 17 December 2021 and again in April and May 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\">Thank you for your support!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\">Learning Environment Services, ITS and University Libraries<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a Study Break!
