Full vacation opening hours

Student PCs

If you need to use a student PC on campus between 24 December – 3 January, Park Wood and Oaks study hubs will be open 24/7. You’ll need your KentOne card to get in.

All other study hubs are closed 24 December – 3 January inclusive.

Borrowing arrangements

You don’t need to renew or return any books from Thursday 24 December to Sunday 10 January inclusive.

We’re extending loans for an extra week after the Library reopens because of a system upgrade, meaning you can keep your books for longer than usual.

Otherwise, borrowing continues as normal, so that books remain accessible to everyone who needs them. Please be prepared to return items when they are due, as they can be recalled from you.

If you can’t get a book back to us in time or are concerned about fines, get in touch as soon as possible. The friendly Loan Desk staff will do their best to resolve your problem:

• in person: Ground Floor West, Templeman Library
• phone: 01227 82 3572
• email: lendingenquiries@kent.ac.uk
