For current information on the Library's opening hours please view Library Opening Hours
The Library is currently open to Solent students, staff and visitors. Please bring your campus card with you to borrow items and to access the Library when the turnstiles are up. The turnstiles are up from 5.00pm on weekdays and during weekends.
Members of the public wishing to use the Library must apply for a Visitor Pass and receive it before their first visit. Please see the visitors guide for full details about visitor access and to complete the Visitor Pass request form.
Alumni and SCONUL subscribers: please see the Subscribers page for details of how to apply for access or use the relevant link on the left.
Bank Holiday opening hours are likely to differ from standard hours - please check for updates.
A Visitor Pass will be required by anyone who isn't a student/staff member at Southampton Solent University who wishes to access the Library. You can apply for a Visitor Pass online but please allow at least 3 working days for the request to be processed.
Please check regularly for updates to opening hours.
In line with our Resource Management and Access Policy, the Library only accepts donations of print books in exceptional circumstances and by prior arrangement with the Information Librarians. Please contact library.support@solent.ac.uk if you have materials that you would like to offer.
Unfortunately we are not in a position to accept donations unless they've been agreed by an Information Librarian.
If you have books that you are looking to rehome when you are leaving the University, many local charity shops accept donations of books.
