Borrowing and returning books
For students wanting to borrow items from the Library we recommend using our Request and Collect service, this allows you to request items before you come into the Library. You are still welcome to come in to browse the shelves.
Library staff can provide help with:
- print and e-books
- print journals and e-journals
- online databases
- other online resources such as Study Skills
Use our online Library Catalogue to find both print and online resources. You can use our Library Online Guides to find more information, contact details and links to resources.
When you’re books are due back to the library, there is a book returns box available in the foyer near Reception. Students can simply post the books they are returning in the box.
Our Covid safe measures mean library staff will quarantine returned books for a period of time before they go back on shelves or go out to other students.
We have two libraries which you can use as a Bradford College student. One is on the second floor of the David Hockney Building (pictured above), and one is on the ground floor of Trinity Green
