Liberating CityLibrary

Help us to improve the diversity of our collections

Based on your suggestions we hope to increase the range of books in the library written by people from a BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) background, books by and about LGBTQI+ people and titles which recognise overlapping identities and experiences such as gender, class, sexuality and disability.

Please be aware that books can take approximately four weeks from date of request to appear on the library's shelves.

Liberating CityLibrary

Due to the coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent closure of the University buildings we are accepting Liberating CityLibrary requests for e-books only.
