Kingston University library buildings are open for all our learners and the wider community.
Members of the public are welcome to visit our library buildings and use our cafes. However to help us manage capacity in our library buildings we have certain restrictions regarding the use of our study spaces. For more details please follow Library services for visitors or speak to a member of staff.
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.
Monday 14 October to Sunday 15 December 2024
**Please note: due to unexpected essential maintenance works at Roehampton Vale Campus, Roehampton Vale Library will close at 17:00 on Tuesday 3 December 2024.
All other libraries will be open as advertised.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
