• Event Spaces: The Library supports UL's engagement with the external community by welcoming tours and hosting events throughout the year, except from Week 9 to the end of the semester. During this period, students are in intense exam preparation, and the library is at its busiest. To book a library tour or discuss using a space for an event, please contact us. 

We invite you to explore these spaces and utilise them to their fullest potential. Whether you're engaged in innovative research, collaborative projects, need a space for your students to complete their assignments, or need a moment of quiet reflection, the Glucksman Library is here to support you, and your students every step of the way.
