Q. How do I access the Library when it is not staffed?

When Information Hub staff are not working in the building, the David Wilson Library building still remains open for access. The building is typically open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with only a small number of closure days a year (typically 1st January, 25th December and 26th December) but please check our opening hours for any changes before making a special visit.

If you are a student or a member of staff you can access the building at any time using your ID card. If you have forgotten your ID card you can use your IT login details to obtain a day ticket from the kiosk near the turnstiles. This ticket will allow you access to the David Wilson Library for the rest of the day. 

If you are an External member, your Library card will allow you access to the building from 8am until Midnight each day. Please speak to staff at the Information Hub during our staffed service hours if you forget your Library card. Entry will not be possible without your Library card outside of our staffed service hours. 

Security staff will be present in the building during non-staffed opening hours.
