Library & Student Services

Sheila Silver Library - Campus Card required for access

Remember: If you leave the library to take a break or to get a drink or a snack, don't forget to take your Campus Card with you, as you will need it to get back in! This change is in response to your feedback, to help support your learning, and to give you priority in finding study spaces within the Library. If you forget your Campus Card, you'll still be able to enter the Library after a brief delay to sign in. If you have your Campus Card you'll be able to enter immediately by scanning your card at the gate.

If you've lost your Campus Card you can get a replacement from the Student Hub. You'll also need your card to prove your identity for your exams so now is a good time to sort this out. If you don't have a Campus Card but you're attending an event in the Library such as an Open University Lecture staff will be able to sign you in. Headingley Campus Library remains open to the public during the day as usual, as the infrastructure currently in place in the James Graham Building does not allow for restricted access.

The Library is still open 24/7 to all Leeds Beckett students and staff. Please note you will be breaching student regulations if you lend your Card to anyone else.
