Our campus libraries are for students, academics and those simply led by their curiosity. Each library is somewhere you can browse our physical collections, get support from the Compass Help Desk, study with your friends or just find some needed quiet. Both Campus Libraries are open to students, staff and visitors.
Penryn Campus Library
The large Penryn Campus Library is located in The Exchange building. Our open-plan space has an IT suite, flexible group study areas and both quiet and silent study rooms. If your subject is based at Penryn Campus, the resources you need will be here. Step-free access with automatic doors and accessible bathrooms.
Falmouth Campus Library
Found off the main drive, our smaller library's collection focuses on the creative subjects taught at Falmouth Campus. We also carry a wide selection of art periodicals and independent magazines for your inspiration. Step-free access with automatic doors and an accessible bathroom.
Inclusivity and Accessibility
How our campus libraries are places for everyone in our community.
We always enjoy showing people around. It doesn't matter why you need a tour. Maybe you've never used the library before — or perhaps you have specific requirements you'd like to talk to us about. We're here to help you.
