Library Services over the Festive Period
As we get closer to the end of semester 1 teaching we wanted to let you know what the library has to offer over the upcoming festive period!
24/7 opening
A reminder that 24/7 opening at Harrison Library, City Campus, and Walsall Campus Library, will pause on Monday 18th December for the Christmas period but will then start up again in the new year, running from Tuesday 2nd January through until Friday 14th January.
More information about 24/7 can be found in our Library 24/7 Opening article.
Library Availability over Christmas
Our libraries will be open across many days over the festive period where you will be able to make use of the study spaces and PCs, borrow and return books, or find a quiet and warm place to study. The on-site support will be limited and ID cards will be required to enter the library.
Students who wish to use the Hutchison Library at Telford Campus will need to ensure that they have registered for Extended Access in advance, otherwise, they will not be able to access the library. For more information about using Hutchison Library during any of our Extended Access periods, please visit or Hutchison Library webpage.
