Borrowing
To borrow, you can either go to the library helpdesk or at the self service machine. Your student ID card doubles up as your library card, there’s no need to activate it.
Undergraduates can borrow up to 15 items, postgraduates can borrow up to 20 items.
Nearly all items can be borrowed for 3 weeks and renewed 3 times.
We do not charge fines.
Access your library account to renew or check your items under My Loans at the top of the page.
If you haven’t been in the Library before, here is a library layout and how to find a book (opens in a new window).
As well as having books available to borrow, the library also offers DVDs and BluRays, video and board games collections.
We hold XBox, Playstation, and Nintendo Switch games. DVDs and games can be borrowed for the same amount of time as a standard loan book. Board games are for use in the library only.
We also have a Playstation 4, which is use in the library only, and borrowable DVD & BluRay players.
