I don’t know where to get help
We Did
We love to help you! There are a number of places in the library that you can get help or ask us a question;
Library reception (the desk at the Library entrance)
Library reception staff can help you with accessing the library building, they can also help you to install the STOCARD app to allow you to go through the library gates without using your student card.
However, if you have lost your student card they can help you to take a picture of your library barcode on your phone which you can also use to get through the library gates.
They can also help with telling you what events are going on in the library building and can help with if you have lost something in the library.
