Library Tour: Queen’s University

With 1.2M volumes and 2,000 reader seats in a mixture of formal and informal spaces, the newly opened Library at Queen's blends the best features of a traditional library with the latest technology to create a truly 21st century environment for study and research. A member of library staff will introduce delegates to the building and the range of services available.

A tour is available on Monday 7 September between 1.15 and 1.55 and on Tuesday 8 September between 12.45 and 1.15. Each tour is limited to a maximum of 15 delegates.

Delegates should meet in the PFC foyer where they will be escorted to the new Library.
