Borrowing and returning books
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.
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.
