We are pleased to announce that the main Library building will be opening its doors for Welcome Week 2020, and for the start of term 1. We look forward to welcoming our new students to the Library community, and also to welcoming back our returning students and staff.

For those of you who have used the Library in the past, you will notice some changes. Due to COVID-19 and in order to maintain everyone’s safety, we are operating on reduced hours, and with a limited occupancy. Once the building is full to capacity, we will operate a one in one out system. Therefore, please do make sure you check both opening times, and space availability on our Library web site before visiting.

Whilst we recommend you regularly check the website for opening times, we can confirm that the planned opening hours (at the time of this news release) for the main Library building over coming weeks are:
