Every effort is made to ensure equal access to our staff and students - even if it is difficult for them to come into college; therefore enquiries, requests and renewals are welcomed by phone or by email. To contact the library telephone directly on 01595 771258, or via reception on 01595 771000, or if you prefer, you can email the library
Holiday Services
The library will normally be open for self-service on all but the official closed days. The hours that the librarian will be available during the holidays will be posted on the library door, on this website, or by telephoning reception on 01595 771000.
Self-Service
If the library is open, but no staff are on duty, you may still borrow and return books, and use the computing facilities.
Books can be issued by self-service. Simply enter the details - your student number and your name, together with the library barcode number of the book(s) you want to borrow and the first few words of the title - in the Self-Issue sheet which you will find on the Library desk. The library barcode of the book will normally be found on the front cover, or inside on the first page, on a stick-on label.
Books for return may be left in the box marked for that purpose, which will also be found on the desk.
