Most of the Library is arranged into subjects by numbers 000-999. There are some other areas that have letters instead of numbers; such as
RC - is The Reading Collection which is full of stories. These are on the shelves against the wall.
FC - s The Film Collection which has lots of DVD's that you can borrow - These are on the round shelves near to the stairs.
JF and JFY These are story books in a collection near to the Technology & Media counter.
IL is for Independent Living - These are shelved against the wall.
You can search for books using the white machines in the Library. To take any books or DVD;s out you can use the black machines. Any problems finding what you want, just ask a member of staff.
The Library in the David Hockney Building has moved from the second floor (pictured) to the Ground floor.
Use the white machines in the library to find a book; or go to the shelves and have a look around at a subject area
