Library opening hours
Kingston University library buildings are open for all our learners and the wider community.
When Information Centre help desks are not operational, a 'Study Only' service is provided. This includes help with any issues you might have whilst in the building, such as help with printing, noise feedback or help with borrowing items, but does not include 'Inter library loan' or ‘Desk loan' collection.
To help manage building capacity throughout the academic year the following protocols apply:
- 12 June 2023 to 14 April 2024: designated study spaces (limited capacity) will be available to visitors. For more information, see our library services for visitors page.
- 15 April to Sunday 2 June 2024: as these are key academic weeks, 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 to use study areas during this time.
Tuesday 2 April to Sunday 2 June 2024*
