Student-focused study spaces
Your libraries are a unique student-focused environment, dedicated to giving you the time, space, resources and support you need to succeed in the way that works best for you.
Academic support
The library team understand that it can be daunting for students to step up to the next level of achievement, or return to study after a long break, so at every campus your we are very happy to help with any academic support you need. We will familiarise you with college systems, and can work with you to help you learn how to write academically, deliver dazzling presentations or understand the intricacies of referencing and citation.
Convenience for you
You are always welcome to drop in to the library and use a desk, a laptop or a PC when it is convenient for you. We can even help you plan your visit in advance by making computer bookings to fit your busy schedule.
If you need a little extra help to find that work/life balance, we can also support you with research, and give you time management tips so that you can ace those important assignments, hit those critical deadlines and impress your tutors!
Unique study spaces
Whether you need us to show you how to get the best from our wide range of books and online resources, or you just want a peaceful space where you can work independently or with friends, our libraries cater to a variety of needs and learning styles. We have quieter areas that will help you focus, and spaces where you can discuss assignments or even spread out and work collaboratively on projects.
Events and Competitions
