At last – the café re-opens!

The café is open again this week!

Head past the Library Help Desk and round the bottom of the wooden staircase in the Library Atrium, and you will find the Library Coffee Shop. Here you can buy a variety of hot and cold drinks and snacks for you to enjoy in the Library or take away. The seating in this area is convivial and relaxed. It is a great place to chill out, read the latest newspaper or catch up on recent journal issues, or just sit up at a table to eat.

When the cafe is closed, our high end vending machines are just around the corner to your right. They are a little hidden from view, but if you follow the wall of journals and newspapers around the corner you will find them. Here you can buy hot and cold drinks and cold snacks 24/7 and pay by card or cash, so you need never go without.

For anyone watching their spending, drinking water fountains are available near the Library entrance, along the rear corridor on the ground floor near the Postgraduate Study Suite, and at one end of Area 2B on the second floor.

This video explains more about the library café.
