Library opening hours

Kingston University library buildings are open for all our learners and the wider community.

When Information Centre help desks are not operational, a 'Study Only' service is provided. This includes help with any issues you might have whilst in the building, such as help with printing, noise feedback or help with borrowing items, but does not include 'Inter library loan' or ‘Desk loan' collection.

From Monday 12 June to Sunday 10 September 2023
