The Charles Seale-Hayne Library is open 24/7 and provides access to approximately 350,000 books and multimedia items, 14,000 current journal subscriptions, and a variety of different study environments.
In one central location there are the resources you need to carry out research (books, journals, electronic resources), to present your work (computers, printers, photocopiers, loan equipment, shop) and experienced, friendly staff to help you.
Library visitor numbers will be limited from Tuesday 23 April until Friday 31 May due to the exam and revision period.
Please check before visiting that we are able to accommodate you.
