Library services

We offer a number of services for students, staff and visitors. We can help you to find the items you need, even if they’re not in our libraries, and can support staff with reading lists and teaching.

We’re available between 9am-5pm every day to answer your queries.

Please contact us online or use webchat (it appears in the header above when someone is available to chat).

Please do not return books, as our buildings are closed and we cannot receive them. You will not be fined, even if they are recalled.

Book a room

Our range of bookable study rooms and booths are ideal for groups who need a space to discuss and collaborate, or individual postgraduates who need to focus on their work. In each room, you can connect your laptops and share your screens using AirMedia. Remember to check-in to the room when you arrive. These rooms are for student bookings only.
