Refurbishment at St Luke’s library

The Library team are getting St Luke’s library ready for an exciting revamp over the summer, so you may experience some changes and possible disruption before the new term.

St Luke’s library is now closed for refurbishment until Term one

The closure will allow the work to take place, with a refurbished library reopening for the start of term. You’ll still be able to access all the library resources during this time. Your online library search remains available as usual.

Print stock temporarily relocating to Old Library level -1

Print stock has now temporarily relocated to Old Library level -1 and Forum library level -1.  You can borrow directly from these libraries or items can be requested for collection at St Luke's Campus. There is a reservations shelf and borrowing kiosk on first floor of Cross Keys.  It will remain there until the conclusion of works. 

Education store relocated to Forum level -1 rolling stacks

Items with a location of 'Forum library Education store level -1' have moved permanently to Forum library level -1 rolling stacks.  These items can be requested for collection at St Luke's Campus.

Requesting items

If your home campus is St Luke's you can request items on the library search with a location of 'Old library St lukes collection, level -1' or 'Forum library Education store, level -1' by signing in and then under 'Get it' clicking on 'request' and selecting 'St Luke's' as the pickup location. 

Reservation shelves at St Luke's Campus

The reservation shelves are now on the first floor Cross Keys (pictured below).  They will remain at Cross Keys for the duration of the works to allow reservations to be collected and borrowed on St Luke's Campus.

Returning books

The returns kiosk and book bin will be available at St Luke's library until 31 May.  This will then move to first floor Cross keys.  The 'drop box' at the IT entrance to St Luke's library will be out of use during the refurbishment works. 

Alternative study spaces

You are welcome to use St Luke's Campus study spaces at Giraffe House and Cross Keys as well as the study spaces on Streatham Campus including Forum library.

AccessAbility study spaces

There are four bookable AccessAbility rooms with assistive software and equipment in Forum library, which students registered with AccessAbility pathway can use while St Luke's library is closed for refurbishment.  If you just require a quiet single use study space then you could book one of the Giraffe House group study rooms for privacy.  Please note the 'pods' do not have doors.

Printing: alternative xerox locations

There are colour xerox machines in the following locations on St Luke's campus:

• Giraffe House (print room, first floor)
• Baring Court (entrance)
• South Cloisters (entrance)
• Richards (ground floor)
