Important Information
You no longer have to book a space to enter the Library but 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. From Monday 6th September 24 hour opening will recommence from 08:00 and group room booking will be available. PC and Mac spaces on floor 1 will become bookable by the 13th September as a pilot after the general removal of space booking. We thank you for your patience while we implement these changes.
If you have lost your card please report it to Access Control straight away. You can order a new card online.
Unfortunately, we have had to suspend our visitor schemes including SCONUL and sixth form access schemes. These will remain suspended for the Autumn term 2021 with exception of Alumni and Corporate card holders.
Please note that click and collect has now ended as customers no longer need a booking to enter the Library. We have reinstated the ability to place reservation on items on loan via Locate.
From Monday 13th September you will be able to book a PC/Mac space on Floor 1 and also group rooms and our accessible height tables. Spaces are available as detailed below. Just click on the purple space buttons.
