We are delighted to announce that our alumni now have free access to all University of Cumbria campus libraries after their graduation.
How do I use the library?
During staffed hours you are welcome to come along and use the library at any time. To use the library during unstaffed hours and to borrow books you need to register for membership. Alumni membership must be renewed annually. You will be given a swipe access card.
Alumni may have up to four books on loan at a time. Alumni membership does not give access to computing or wifi.

Please note: A fee still applies to alumni of franchised or partnership programmes.
