Library of Things

The library of things is housed at the Enquiry Desk and consists of a range of equipment for adapting your study space that you are welcome to use whilst in the library.

The items are available when the Enquiry Desk is open (Mon-Fri 09:00-19:45, Sat 10:00-17:15). To use the items, please request them at the desk and they will be issued to you on your library card until the Enquiry Desk closes that day. Please note, all items are for use in the library only and should be returned to the desk when you have finished.
