By being considerate, we ensure the LRC remains a positive and productive space for our entire community.

Revised opening hours

Posted on by

Hi everyone,

As we settle into the slow mood, we’re making a slight adjustment to our opening hours, starting on 1 August 2025, our hours are:

Monday – Friday : 8.30am – 5.30pm

Saturday, Sunday, Public Holiday : Closed

We understand how important the LRC is to your academic success, and this decision was made with your needs in mind. By refining our schedule during the quieter months, we can more effectively allocate our resources to enhance the services and support you rely on most. This allows us to focus on behind-the-scenes work that ultimately creates a better, more efficient library experience when classes are in full swing.

Remember, even with this slight change, you’ll still have ample time to access our extensive collection of resources, utilize our study spaces, and get assistance from our dedicated staff. We encourage you to plan your visits accordingly.

We appreciate your understanding and continued use of the LRC. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask our friendly staff at the circulation desk.
