All university libraries will be closed from Friday 2 – Monday 5 April, with most re-opening on Tuesday 6 April from 9am – 5pm. The Music Library will remain closed.

There will be some further changes to opening hours during the vacation period at Denis Arnold Music Library and Hallward Library. There will also be some disruption at Hallward Library due to ongoing maintenance work. Please check the individual library webpage before you visit.

Our online resources and support materials will remain available during the closure period.
