What do our students say?
“As everyone knows, Warwick University Library is THE place to be on campus. Forget clubs and bars, the library is the most social place of all. You bring us together like nothing I’ve seen before, and together, it feels like we can understand everything."

“The Library regularly organises sessions with Pets as Therapy dogs... I’d definitely recommend checking it out because it’s a lovely way to de-stress and meet some very friendly dogs and their equally friendly owners!”
