Campus Libraries

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.

    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.
