Library & Learning Services

This blog post is for all you night owls out there…

We are delighted to announce that in response to student feedback – and a week of 24/7 opening in December 2014 which proved very popular – we are opening the University library, Ormskirk campus, for 24 hours a day 7 days a week from 08am on 2nd March to midnight on Friday 27th March 2015. That’s nearly 4 whole weeks – including weekends!

Many of you already use the 24 hour PC room in the LINC building, but feedback from the week of 24/7 opening in December indicated that many of you appreciated being in the library space with its specific study zones, print resources, access to PCs and printing facilities.

During the 24/7 opening period the help desks will be open as usual (08am – 9pm Monday to Friday and 11am – 6pm weekends). After these times you will still be able to:

• Access the building with a valid UniCard
• Use the study zones, book stock and PCs/printing facilities
• Issue and return items
• Pay fines and add print credit online
• Access help and support via our Ask Us knowledge base or use 24/7 live chat 

*Please be aware cleaning will take place between 6am and 8am*

We hope you will make use of the extra study time!

We were feeling the love in the library last week – and it seems that you were too!

Lots of you entered our #loveehulibrary Valentines competition and told us why you love the library.

The winner won a meal for two which was kindly donated by The Cricketers in Ormskirk.

The Cricketers also donated runner up prizes of £10 meal vouchers.  A big thanks to them for donating the prizes!

We were delighted that so many of you took part in the competition and even more delighted to read some of the lovey comments….here are just a few:

“I love the library as there is a friendly working atmosphere”

“I love the library because it is a safe environment that encourages and supports learning and caters to every style of learner”
