Library@ Scheme
To provide additional study spaces during the assessment period, we have organised access to alternative study locations. A full list of locations and available dates can be found here. Founder's Reading Room and PC Lab 1 in the Computer Centre remain available 24/7.
Summer Loan Extension
During the summer vacation, loans will be extended until next term. Users will not be able to recall items on loan. Further details and exact dates are available here.
Founder's Reading Room:
Founder's Reading Room is available for individual, silent study. It can be accessed via the South Tower (see the campus map) and is open 24 hours a day, providing you with a place to study when the Emily Wilding Davison building is closed.
The space is unstaffed, but will be regularly monitored. If you require emergency assistance, please contact Security on 01784 443888.
Other Spaces Open 24 Hours:
PC Lab 1 in the Computer Centre is also open overnight, providing further 24/7 study spaces and IT resources.
