SMB Library

The SMB Library is located in Building G. It houses an extensive collection of fine art books and has plenty of space for quiet study and group work.

This isn’t just a building full of books (though we’ve got plenty of those too). This is your space to study, think, print or recharge. We’ve got computers when you need one. Study spaces when you need to focus. Lounges when you don’t. Quiet spaces for deep work. Group areas for big ideas. And printers and scanners that (mostly) behave. Need a hand? InfoPoint is your go-to for friendly help.

You're part of our community

The Library might be located on campus, but anyone can use our spaces and access our collections. Alumni, students from other institutions, members of the public – everyone is welcome. And if you're interested in borrowing items, you can become a member for free.

Opening hours

8.30 am–4.30 pm, Monday to Friday. Hours may vary. Check the Library calendar before you visit.

Book a space

If you need a quiet space to study or a room for group work or online classes, drop in during opening hours or book ahead to reserve a spot.
 
There's one room available that fits up to five people.
