Swindon Library

Entrance to the library is on the ground floor of the Joel Joffe Building. There are automatic doors to enter the building, but assistance may be required to enter through the main library doors. Please ask a member of staff if assistance is required. You will need your student or staff card to enter the library after 7.00pm Monday to Friday. External visitors will be unable to access the library after 7.00pm.

As well as having a dedicated Health and Social Work Library at Swindon and access to online resources, staff and students based at Swindon also have access to the full range of resources, services and facilities available from the Library at the Headington Campus in Oxford.

We offer extended opening during unstaffed times to Brookes students and staff. You can check our opening hours at the top of this page to find out what times library staff are available to help you. When library staff are not present, the library will operate on a self service basis. Always bring your student card or Brookes staff ID with you.

To contact security, ring 01865 60 3060.

Printing, scanning and photocopying are available 24/7 from multi-functional devices within the Library. For guides and more information see uniPRINT service overview.
