Our Chat With Us sessions at Bill Bryson Library are back once again for Easter term!

We’ve got a variety of activities planned throughout Easter Term as part of our Exam WellBEEing offer to help support you and your wellbeing during the busy (and often stressful!) exam period.

We know the Easter term is a busy period for studying and exams, and you can expect Bill Bryson Library and our other study spaces to be at their busiest. To support you with finding study spaces, we have arranged additional rooms to be available as pop-up library study spaces for you to use across the University campus in the buildings listed below.

Due to essential works, there will be a period of restricted access to some areas of Palace Green Library throughout April and May.

As we head towards the end of Epiphany term, we’ll be updating the opening times at some of our libraries and study spaces for the vacation period.
