We have reopened the Health Sciences Library with limited study spaces available for University of Leeds staff , students and NHS. This is part of a phased approach to reopening our services across the Library. For up to date information about our services, visit the Library website.

Before booking a Library study space, everyone - including those who have remained in Leeds over the break - must have had a negative coronavirus test conducted in January.

Further details on campus requirements and how to book an asymptomatic test are available at the University's coronavirus website

For the period of the national restrictions, government guidance advises that face coverings should be worn in all the Library at all times. This means you must now wear your mask while studying, as well as when you enter and move around the Library.
