Changes to Health Library Opening Hours

New Opening Hours 

From 1st November 2022

Monday - Friday 08.30 -20.00
Saturday 10.00 - 16.00
Sundays and Bank Holidays Closed

Remember you can still use the Campus Library 24/7 during semesters. (Don't forget your Library Card)

NHS Members can also register to use the Health Library at County 24/7

If you have any questions or concerns, please email Health.Library@Keele.ac.uk or fill out a Comments form in the Library.

We had planned to make these changes at the same time as offering 24-hour access to the library when it was un-staffed. Unfortunately, we have not been able to complete this aspect of the project due to concerns about the value of this access to members, and whether the members would be secure while using the library.  We still hope to implement unstaffed access at some point in the coming months.  
Several Health Library team members have been working for additional hours each week since September 2021 to maintain the current opening hours, but this cannot be maintained indefinitely so Library Managers representing both Keele and UHNM have decided these new hours need to be put in place now.
