If you have registered with Disability Services, you can access a number of services we have put in place to support you. This could include offering longer loan periods, and the ability to reserve books on the shelf.
If you do not use Disability Services, we can still support you.
The Librarian responsible for liaising with Disability Services is Lakshmi Banner who can be contacted at the Library Information Desk or emailed at askalibrarian@bradfordcollege.ac.uk
If you register with the Library you can borrow most items for 3 weeks and the Library will automatically renew these for you up to 25 times.
Items can be reserved by other users which will stop your loans renewing. Make sure you check your Library Account or college email every week to see if you need to return your items.
If your books are overdue and you have problems returning them, contact us as soon as possible so we can support you. You can also ask friends or family to return your books. We have a book box by reception which they can use which means they don't need to come through the barriers.
You can also reserve items on the shelf. We will find the book for you and have it waiting at the Library Information Desk for collection. Alternatively, you can just come into the library and ask for help finding items.
If you have a visual disability you can join the RNIB Book Share scheme which provides some titles in more accessible formats. Visual disability can also include dyslexia.
You can register yourself with the scheme and request a book; or you can ask the Library or Disability Services to try and get hold of particular title for you.

The Hockney library provides access to four 'study pods' for student use which can be booked at the Library Information Desk. Trinity Green Library has three pods. Pods can be booked up to a week in advance and up to 2 hours at a time. You can borrow a laptop from the library to use in the study pods if you wish.
The Hockney library also has a staffed quiet study room which is intended for individual, quiet or silent study. To find this, walk through the library to the counter and you will see the room on the right.
You can make an appointment with a Librarian. Librarians are available from 8:30 am to 8 pm Tuesday and Thursday, and 8:30 - 6 on Monday and Wednesday. We close at 4:30 on Fridays.
You can also book help with writing and study skills with one of our Library Coaches. Click here for more information and to make an appointment.
If you do not need read aloud software, but would like to have the pages enlarged, you can ask at the Learning Support helpdesk on the third floor.
