Winter Vacation
Our spaces are open and helpdesks staffed until 23 December.
From 24 December to 4 January, Library at Pasteur and St Peter's Library are open every day between 10am and 6pm (except for 25 & 26 December and 1 January). Students and staff can visit to borrow print books and laptops, use the University's WiFi, use computers and printers, and study in our spaces.
Our usual term-time hours resume on 5 January when our helpdesks reopen. View our opening hours here. If you send us an email during this time, we'll respond as quickly as possible from 5 January.
Please remember your campus card, as you will need it to tap into the buildings, open the access gates, and use our self-service units.
