Christmas opening hours

The Library will operate shorter opening hours between the end of the Autumn Term and the beginning of the Spring Term and the Library building will close for a few days during the Christmas vacation.  24/7 opening will resume from 8 am on Tuesday 8 January 2023.  You can always find our current and upcoming opening hours on the Library Opening Hours webpage.  Our electronic resources and online chat support are available 24/7 every day of the year, so you can work off campus at any time you wish.

Service restrictions during the Christmas vacation period

  • From Saturday 24 December 2022 until Tuesday 3 January 2023, our Online Chat Service will be staffed by our out-of-hours librarians who are located around the world. They are highly skilled and will be able to answer most enquiries or will refer your query to UoP Library staff who will reply on or after 3 January 2023.
  • Any emails received after 4 pm on Friday 23 December 2022 will also be answered on or after 3 January 2023.
  • Over the Christmas period, reservations will only be satisfied if the item is available on the shelf; no books are recalled from borrowers. This will apply from 8 December 2022 to 9 January 2023.

If a request is made via Click & Collect, Document Delivery or the Postal Loans Service between 22 December 2022 and 3 January 2023, then the earliest the item will be available for collection or dispatch will be 4 January 2023.
