Our Sheila Silver Library at City Campus and Headingley Library in the James Graham Building are both open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. Our Library has more than 315,000 print and multimedia items and 150,000 ebooks, journals, databases and newspapers to inspire learning and support study. On campus you will have an Academic Librarian to help you get the most out of using the Library.
Your Library is more than just books; you can borrow laptops and camera equipment, print and photocopy, book a presentation room or attend free Skills for Learning workshops. Our new mobile app can also give you information on how many free desktop PCs are available in our libraries before you get here. But even if you can’t come to us, you can still access the Library website and search over 100,000 electronic books, journals and newspapers from wherever you are off-campus.
