University Library prepares for new term.
Term time opening will commence on Monday 3rd September at the University Library, and at some of our sites. At the University Library, in response to student feedback, we have extended midnight opening to include Fridays and will cover 35 weeks over the academic year. Click here for full details of opening hours at all our sites.
Self Service facilities now include a coin payment option on one of the self-issue machines, which means you can still pay your fines and borrow books once the help desk is closed, and £2 photocopy cards are available from the vending machine in the foyer.
We have had all our light fittings replaced over the last 2 weeks and you will notice a much brighter Library once you return. The lights are now LED, which as well as creating a much brighter environment, will significantly lower energy consumption and carbon emissions. Reducing energy has been a priority at Edge Hill for many years & the University is committed to reducing its carbon footprint above the HE sector targets. Read more about the University’s Environment strategy on the Sustainabilty web pages.
We are expecting a delivery of new furniture, for the 1st Floor, in the next couple of weeks so please bear with us while we are preparing for this. Once in place we hope you agree the quality of the study spaces will be greatly improved.

Changes to the University Library
There are some changes happening in the University Library over the Summer Vacation
1) Lighting – the lighting is being replaced by LED panels and this may mean that some areas of the Library will be temporarily unavailable – please see staff if you cannot access the area you require.
2) Stock Move – we are moving all of the stock on the 1st Floor, we have added in extra shelves to make space for existing and new stock and hope that this extra space will make it easier for you to find the books you require
3) Furniture – the furniture on the 1st Floor will be replaced over August/ Sept. This has been ordered and will be in place by the start of term.
4) Quiet area on the top floor – the layout of this area has been changed, there will be extra power points made available for laptops etc
If you have any problems accessing the areas you require, please speak to a member of staff who will help you.
