- Find the library that suits you:
There are libraries in different locations, on different subjects with different facilities.
You can listen to the podcast, find libraries by subject, look at location maps or check opening hours.
- Find out what your library offers:
Classes, online tutorials, computing facilities and wireless access.
- Guidelines on the use of Library resources:
We want our clients to have fair and equitable access to the Library's resources such as computers, desks and rooms. You can help us achieve this by logging out if you are away from the computer for more than 5 minutes. After 15 minutes of inactivity, the computers logout. Always remember to take your belongings with you as library staff may remove any unattended personal property so that other clients can use the resources.
