SBS students and staff can use the library whenever the building is open. The Park End Street building will be closed from 18:00 on 24 Dec until 08:00 on 27 Dec, and again from 18:00 on 31 Dec until 08:00 on 2 Jan. During these times the building will be completely locked and alarmed so there will be no access for anyone.

In the period between these two dates e.g. the 28th, 29th and the 30th the revolving doors will be locked but SBS students and staff will be able to access the school between 07:30-00:00 using their access cards, as they would at the weekends.

The Sainsbury Library will be unstaffed from 5pm on Tuesday, 23rd December 2014 until Monday, 5th January 2015.

Details about opening hours of other libraries will be available on our website soon. Please do get in touch with us if you have any questions.
