Library services are available all through the holidays, whether you are staying in Leeds or heading elsewhere.
Laidlaw Library remains open 9 to 5
The Laidlaw Library is staying open between 9am – 5pm so you have somewhere to study and revise during the holidays. We will close the library on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day only.
