Kingston University library buildings are open for all our learners and the wider community.
Please note, to help manage building capacity from Monday 24 April until Sunday 11 June 2023 – only Kingston University students, staff or invited guests are allowed to use our study desks / study areas. Visitors are welcome to view our buildings and use our cafes but not use study areas.
From 1 August 2022 to 23 April 2023 & 12 June 2023 to 31 December 2023 – Designated study spaces (limited capacity) will be available to visitors. For more information, see our library services for visitors page.
Face coverings are a personal choice when in any library building.
An Information Centre service operates at all Kingston University Libraries. Both Information Centre and specialist library staff offer a variety of channels to support students with their studies or support needs. Students can click on the 'Chat now' box on iCat to access this support.
Students and staff can also log in to My Kingston to access a range of library services, including our extensive e-book and e-journal collections available through the iCat library catalogue. To learn more about the services we offer, you can enrol on the library module on Canvas.
