Temporary toilet block closure
The ground floor toilets nearest the staff offices at the rear of the building (shown at the bottom of the diagram) are the ones that will be closed this Saturday
The toilets in the ground floor corridor towards the rear of the Library building will be temporarily unavailable on Saturday 26 October while contractors clean the water tanks supplying this toilet block. Happily, these were the least attractive of all our toilets, …
Postgraduate Study Suite now open again
We are delighted to re-open the temporary Postgraduate Study Suite from today for all our postgraduate students to use.
We would like to thank all our postgraduate students for their patience while we welcomed our new international students. The Library Meeting Room (UL 0.12) is now all yours again as an exclusively postgraduate study space. We have set out the room exactly as it was before.

Safe, private spaces for breastfeeding
We are excited to unveil a new dedicated bookable pod for new mothers to breastfeed and express milk. Not everyone is comfortable feeding their baby or expressing milk in public, so we have introduced bookable breastfeeding pods in the Library and Richmond building exclusively to support new mothers.
Hot food trial
In response to student feedback, hot food can now be eaten in the University Library and microwaves are available in the café area for you to use. Please keep hot food in the café area, clean up after yourself and help us to make this trial a success.
Space for postgraduate study
From Monday 30 September 2024, the Library Meeting Room (UL 0.12) will be being used for ID checks for international students. While these checks are carried out, we regret we cannot offer a dedicated postgraduate study space in the Library. I mentioned that this was likely back in June when the old Postgraduate Study Suite was turned into staff offices in preparation for the extension connecting the Library and Student Union to create a new student hub.
Your new library: a very brief introduction
Many people find the University Library a little offputting. Perhaps it is the sheer scale of the building compared with the broom cupboard type libraries most students are used to at school or the vast array of print and electronic resources on offer but many people just don’t know where to start. Start by asking us – we are very friendly and are very used to helping students settle in and get off to a great start.
