Q. What are the library opening hours?

Answer

Some campus libraries are open, offering limited services. The health of students and staff remains our priority and we have been making careful changes to reduce risks and help keep people safe.

Our libraries are currently closed to Alumni, SCONUL users and the general public; access is only available to King's staff and students and NHS staff from our Partner Trusts.

We are continuing to develop our online services, and it is expected that you will be able to access what you need working remotely through our webpages, Library Guides, eresources and LibAnswers.

We recognise that there are times when access to campus-based library space and books will still be required. In line with King’s Staying Safe on Campus Guidance, we are providing bookable timeslots for access to both study space and our physical collections.

All visits to the libraries will need to be pre-booked, please see How do I book to visit a library? for more information.
