Arts & Social Sciences Library update! We'll be partially reopening on Monday 20 October, giving access to upper floor study spaces and collections. From w/c 17 November, the full building will reopen, including new enquiry hub and creative lab. We can't wait to welcome you all back!

The Arts & Social Sciences Library is currently closed while we refresh the ground floor. The work was due to be finished by the start of the academic year, but due to building delays we were not able to open when we originally planned and will re-open mid-October. We're really sorry for the delay!

Very proud of my student Helen, who did a work placement at @bristolunilib.bsky.social’s Special Collections as part of her Medieval Studies MA @bristolcms.bsky.social. So vital to build these networks and experiences! @uobartsmatter.bsky.social specialcollections.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/2025/07/23/s...
