Our Library
Our world-class Library offers state-of-the-art resources and friendly, dedicated staff ready to support students.
Opened in September 2017, our library houses hundreds of thousands of books, over 1,000 seats, bookable private study rooms, a whole floor for silent study, and dedicated spaces for postgraduate and research students.
The Library also provides access to a vast range of online resources, including thousands of e-books, journals, and databases, available anytime, anywhere.
We offer high-speed Wi-Fi throughout and contactless borrowing to make checking out books as easy as possible. It is also home to the Walsingham Garden Room and Café.
Our students also have access to the Learning Skills Hub, which offers advice on using library resources, academic writing, referencing, and understanding feedback on their work.
