As we approach the end of exam and assessment period, there will be changes to some of our study spaces and opening times.

As the School of Education is relocating to the Confluence Building on Lower Mountjoy, Leazes Road Study Space will permanently close at 6pm on Friday 2 June 2023.

As we approach the end of the academic year, we will be providing a donation station in Bill Bryson Library and ISC Library, Stockton so you can donate any academic textbooks you no longer need for your studies.

Now that we have automatic renewals in place, we will be sending out a monthly summary email detailing any loans or charges you have on your library account. This is to help you to keep track of your borrowed items and any outstanding fees you may have.

As part of expanding our offer to Durham University Students, the Archives and Special Collections team at Palace Green Library will be running our second Student Experience Day on Thursday 8 June.

Throughout Easter term and as we approach the exam period, we’re here to support you with your study needs and wellbeing. 

Here at the Library, we know how important it is to be able to take a break from your studies to stretch your legs, take time away from screens, get some fresh air or to get a snack. We also know that our study spaces are in high demand, and we want to help by managing our spaces effectively. 

As we head into the start of the exam period, we’ve planned a few activities at Bill Bryson Library to help support you and your wellbeing during this busy and often stressful time.

We have arranged additional rooms to be available to use as study spaces across the University campus during the Easter term.

Durham University has published its Research Publication Policy as part of its commitment to support open and reproducible research. 

Our Silent Zone PC Room and Disability Support rooms on Level 1 of Bill Bryson Library will be unavailable from Monday 27 – Friday 31 March.

Replacement works will be carried out on the PA system in Bill Bryson Library from Tuesday 21 March to Friday 24 March. The works will take place overnight, starting from 5pm and finishing by 7.30am each day.
