Christmas vacation opening hours

Well, there are just 13 sleeps to go until the big day and just a couple of days left of term for most of you! We hope you've all got a nice break to look forward to and that you won't be working too hard preparing for assignments and exams. In line with the rest of the university, all libraries will be closed from the 24th December until the 2nd January. Please check the Notices section of our homepage for opening hours outside this period. (NB Opening hours vary between campuses, so please check the details for each library you're interested in visiting.)

Books, DVDs and other items borrowed over the vacation will have a due date of the 17th January, so you'll have plenty of time to get them back to us in the new term! And remember, our online resources are available off-campus, so you can access e-books, journal articles etc. from wherever you are over the holidays.

Nadolig Llawen!

Seasonal reads...

 

If you call in to The Griffith Library at Dynevor, you'll find a gorgeous winter-themed display of books & DVDs next to our counter! These items are all available to borrow if you want to get into the spirit of the season - titles include 'The Snowman' by Raymond Briggs, 'The Polar Express' by Chris Van Allsburg and on DVD 'It's a Wonderful Life' starring James Stewart.
