Extended Access to the library for Telford students

Extended Access at Hutchison Library, initially on a trial basis, will enable students to continue to use the study spaces, PCs, pick up any Click & Collect items, return books, borrow laptops (6hr short-loan only) and make use of the various other library facilities after 5 pm during the week as well as over the weekend. 

Library staff won't be present at Hutchison Library during Extended Opening but Campus Security will be on campus and able to respond to any concerns that may arise.

All students who wish to use the library during Extended Access periods will need to register so that their campus ID cards can be configured with the relevant permissions to access the library during the Extended Access periods.
