Fusehill Street
The main library is located on the top floor of the Skiddaw building at Fusehill. The library collection focuses on health, education and the social sciences. The library also includes a law collection and a large teaching practice collection.
We want our library spaces to feel inclusive, welcoming and considerate of all members of our university community. To this end, we ask our users to check out this page of ways you can help us achieve this: Library Etiquette
