Access is by card outside staffed hours (9-5 Monday-Friday). Over the summer vacation, access will continue to be 24/7 but will require a card at all times in July and August. We are not guaranteeing a staffed service over the summer, although a member of Library staff will be present on most days; visitors without a Brookes card will be able to access the Library by appointment only, staff availability permitting.
24 hours, 7 days a week for Oxford Brookes staff and students.

Library staff are available at the following times:
