Marjon Library
ATTENTION!
Due to the developing situation with Covid-19. Marjon Library will be reviewing its provision and services on an ongoing basis. Details can be found below.
Service Changes
Following the Prime Minister's announcement on 23/03/20 the library is now closed for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, this means we will no longer be able to collect books for you and there will be no study spaces in the Library, but you can still access resources online and staff are still available to answer questions and assist wherever possible.
Library FAQs
When are you going to extend the due dates for items on loan?
The new due date for all items, including Computing Services Media items, is 1 September. You will need to log in to your online account and renew for this new date to appear though.
Am I going to be charged fines during this period?
No, the Library has suspended all fines since the 16th March. Any fines that were accrued before this date will still be on your account. Please contact Library Enquiries if you experience any difficulties.
I’ve tried to renew my books online and some won’t renew. What should I do?

I’ve tried to renew my books online and my account is blocked. What should I do?
