An overview of our libraries

The Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) opened in September 2019. It provides space for independent and group study, as well as lectures and teaching activity. 

The Library Virtual Enquiry Desk is available if you require any support.

On Monday 13 June, there is an event taking place in the building which means some of the groups study spaces on the 2nd floor will not be available. All individual spaces remain available.
