Welcome to our libraries!

Here are some of things that are new in our libraries:

• Although there isn't a library in the new Temple Quarter campus, we have a Library Services Hub which offers appointments with specialists from Study Skills, Subject Support and Library Support (accessibility). You can book an appointment here. Check out the Sloane Robinson Study Centre page for information on getting there and opening hours.
• Our Exhibition Gallery is open! Come and see the Changemakers exhibition in ASSL, which explores how two very different groups imagined a better society and worked to bring about change. Discover the story of Welfare State International, who brought communities together through art and celebration, and the women of the Greenham Common peace camps, who challenged the use of nuclear weapons through protest and persistence. On display are materials from the University of Bristol's Special Collections and Theatre Collection, the exhibition explores their ideas, actions and lasting impact.
• The Queen's Building Library is now unstaffed, but you can still get support from us by using live chat or email at library-enquiries@bristol.ac.uk

The University of Bristol has eight libraries around the city. The libraries are; the Arts and Social Sciences, Chemistry, Education, Medical, Physics, Queen's Building, Veterinary Sciences and Wills Memorial. Check out our Locations and opening hours page for more information on each individual library.

→ All University of Bristol students have access to all of the university libraries, no matter which subject you study! For instance, a Biology student can work in the Education library or a Sociology student can study in the Physics library. Each library has a different style so we recommend trying a range of them out so you find which space works best for you!
