If you are going away over the Christmas break then please consider whether you need your library books just in case someone else needs them. All the campus libraries are open until noon 24th December so there is plenty of time to return them before you go away.

Please check your University of Greenwich email account in case any of your books get requested before the 18th January.
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Borrowing books
Have you borrowed any books yet? When you’re ready to borrow books for your studies, come and see us at one of our Welcome Desks. We can show you how to use the self-service machines. You can borrow multiple items by placing them together in the slot and then scanning your student ID card. The machine will issue the items to your library account. Any items in red or items not issued can be dealt with by us at the Welcome Desk. You can choose to print out a receipt of the transaction. At Avery Hill and the Drill Hall Library the self-service machines are used to borrow and return your loaned items.

Library books are provided for all readers. Please consider other students when returning your items. Before returning your loans remove all post-it notes and erase any annotations so that other users are not inconvenienced.
