Borrowing and returning books
All return dates of current loans have been extended until 16th April 2021.
When your books are due back to the library, there are book return boxes either in the reception area of the David Hockney building, in the Library on the 2nd floor of the David Hockney building, or in the Success Centre at Trinity Green. Students can simply post the books they are returning in the boxes.
If you can’t get into College to return your books please contact us on askalibrarian@bradfordcollege.ac.uk.
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
For students wanting to borrow items from the Library we recommend using our Request service. You can find available items to request using our online Library Catalogue as well e-books.
Library Online
You can use Library Online to find information, contact details and links to resources.
We have a large collection of e-books, electronic journals and specialist databases to support your studies, available from Library Online at library.bradfordcollege.ac.uk.
Our pages are organised by subject so you can easily find the materials that you need.
In addition, for those books you cannot access electronically we are offering a Request Service allowing us to post the books you need out to you – please see our Library Online page for more information.
