The Library’s opening hours change at different times of the year with evening and weekend opening during Continuing Education Library’s termtime (3 blocks of 11 weeks each), more limited weekend opening during the Oxford University Summer Schools for Adults (OUSSA) and weekday daytime only opening during the vacations.

The current opening hours are always shown on our home page but you can also check the opening hours for the whole year.

The Library will switch to our vacation opening hours from Friday 22 March.

Vacation hours are Monday – Friday 9am-5pm. We do not open on Saturdays and Sundays during the vacation.

In addition, we will be completely closed from Friday 29 March – Monday 1 April inclusive for the Easter weekend.

Full term time hours including weekend opening will recommence on Monday 13 April.

Travelling a long way?  Very occasionally the Library has to close at short notice due to extreme weather or severe staff shortage.  Although its very unusual, its a good idea to ring ahead if you are travelling a long way. Our phone number is 01865 270454.
