Creating inclusive environments and experiences that bring people together. Breaking down barriers and opening up our services and resources to local and global communities.

The library building is sited on Alexandra Square, at the heart of the campus. It is open to members of the University and for public access.

We are open 24 hours and 7 days a week during term time, with reduced hours during vacation periods. The library building provides open access for all to use our print collections and study spaces. Community members can join the library to borrow from our print collections.

Access to the building is restricted for Lancaster University members in the evening and overnight and requires a University card for door entry. Staff and students can also book study spaces in advance of their visit from our booking page.
