"When in doubt go to the library" - JK Rowlings

As the temple of learning on all our campuses, we provide the resources to meet the demands of the charge to be inquisitive. At Essex, libraries are more than just stores of books and knowledge. We offer a wide range of  resources and services, aimed at equipping you with, digital and manual skills, required for ease of access to the library and less stressful learning experience.

We take our status as your companion on this academic journey seriously, so we invite you to visit us today, via any of these routes.
