Our Libraries

The Library Service is dedicated to supporting all ELHT staff and students with their study and research.  

There are two libraries providing a range of study environments including group study area and silent study pods.  Both libraries offer self-service kiosks to issue, renew and return items.  Computer facilities and wifi throughout allows you to connect your own devices.

Wellbeing spaces have been created where staff and students are welcomed and can take a break, relax and browse our wellbeing collection.
​

24/7 access is available to registered library members – ask library staff for details.
