Important Information
Welcome to the Lanchester Library
The Library building is open 24 hours every day except Christmas day. Library staff are on hand to help you from 08:00 until midnight and our Protection colleagues allow us to offer overnight reference use. Online chat help is also available 09:00-17:00 every day if you need support but are not on campus.
Don't forget to bring your ID card to access. If you forget your card we will issue up to three day passes a year, but it's best to remember it as it allows you to borrow both books and laptops as well as activating our gates. If you need any help - just ask us.
Library Light Well Repair Project
This is currently on hold but we'll post updates here as we have them. We will reinstate the tables and computers around the floor 3 light well when we receive a revised timeline. Thank you for your patience.
You can book a PC/Mac space on Floor 1 and also group rooms and our accessible height tables if you wish to. You don't need a booking to use the library. Spaces available to book are detailed below. Just click on the purple space buttons.
Please remember your ID card as you need it to enter. If you are a new student without a card please bring some other form of ID until you have your university card. If you have lost your card please report it to Access Control straight away. You can also order a new card online.
