Following government and University guidance, a small number of our libraries are open.

To help us keep you safe, you'll need to book your visit in advance.

The Sloatsburg Library is open for patrons to browse for books, CDs and DVDs (for up to 30 minutes per visit). We are closed Sundays until further notice.

Libraries open

The following libraries will begin to reopen from 28 January:

Booking a time slot

To use the libraries that are open you will need to book a time slot in advance using our Space Finder tool.

Bookings can be made up to three days' in advance and will close at 8am the day of your chosen time slot. New slots are released at 10am each morning.

After making your booking, we will send you a confirmation email containing important information about the new safety arrangements within our buildings.

If you have not booked in advance, unfortunately you'll be turned away.

Single sign-on for Space Finder

• You will need to use your SSO (single sign-on) to log into Space Finder. This is a temporary measure until we are able to open our libraries to more readers.

Cancelling your booking

If you are no longer able to attend the library, please cancel by clicking the 'cancel your booking' link in your confirmation email to send an automated response.

We are currently experiencing a high demand for study spaces, therefore please:

• book with other readers in mind;
• check all relevant libraries for available dates;
• check the evening before your desired slot for cancellations; and
• cancel your booking if you no longer need it.

Who is eligible to use the libraries?

From 18 January, only University members who are have been invited back to study will be able to book a time slot to study in the libraries. Cairns Library is open unstaffed for clinical students and OUH staff only.

This is a temporary measure as we respond to current government and University guidance.

Bodleian Reader Card holders with a valid card are still able to access our remote services.

What collections are available?

You will be able to access:

• Our open shelf collections
• Non-print legal deposit material via our library computers; these must be booked in advance
• Closed stack deliveries from the Book Storage Facility (BSF)

Closed stack deliveries from the Book Storage Facility (BSF) are restarting to the libraries that have reopened. To make use of this resource, check SOLO for availability in your chosen library, ensuring you have booked a seat in the reading room beforehand. Alternatively, use our free scan and deliver service.

Library PCs

If you would like to use a library computer during your visit, you will need to book this in advance.

You will be able to do this using the same process as booking a study space.

Accessibility

The access provision varies across our libraries.

If you have any access needs, please email reader.services@bodleian.ox.ac.uk before making your booking so that we can let you know what we can offer.

We will then ask you to include your request in the 'Other Information' box when you book your study space online.

Time limits on study spaces

There will be time limits for study spaces in some libraries. These will be announced by individual libraries as they reopen.

  • Surgical masks are mandatory in the Bodleian Health Care Libraries situated inside hospitals.

Standard rules and regulations remain around items permitted in the libraries such as bags and KeepCups, unless otherwise stated. We ask that you visit the library individually and not with members of your social bubble.

• Wear a face covering properly at all times in the library, unless you are exempt under the government guidelines when you are requested to display a sunflower or exemption card;
  • If you need a member of staff to remove their face covering to talk to you please ask. We will be happy to help
  • there may be specific exemptions for certain group study or seminar rooms - details will be provided outside individual rooms
  • do not put your face covering down on desktops or shared surfaces
• Wash or sanitise your hands at regular intervals, including when handling books and collections.
