Due to some system issues, Library users are not receiving reminders of when their books are due. We are manually sending out overdue notices, and hoping that Accessit Library can fix this issue soon.

Our system issues have been resolved and library users should be receiving loan reminder and overdue emails as usual.

Yesterday was #WorldMentalHealthDay. This video shows how difficult it can be to spot a mental health problem in someone you know. Watch to the end.

Today we break for Half Term. The Library closes at 12.35pm today and reopens at 8.30am on Tuesday 31 October.

It's a bit spooky here in the Library - but don't be afraid! Our friendly staff will help you navigate the ghosts, ghouls and frighteningly good origami spiders to find the books you can borrow from our #Halloween book display 👻🎃🐈‍⬛🪦

For all the Classicists and Ancient History buffs, this is worth a listen! #BeingRoman
