I
, together with a host of other University of Bedfordshire students use the UCMK campus library facilities as we are now in the process of doing our dissertations and in my case due end of this month. Recently we were advised that the library will only be openning 9am-5pm during week days something we feel is not fair considering that the Luton and Bedford Campuses open until 2am. Surely, I cannot be expected to drive to Luton or Bedford for library facilities when we have our own university campus in our community. By closing the facilities outside business hours and weekends it now appears to defeat the whole idea of having students in Milton Keynes. While it may not be feasible for the library to close at 2am, surely having it open until at least 10pm would benefit students who cannot travel to the bigger facilities elsewhere. I would like to believe students in Milton Keynes are certainly no lesser in value compared to those in Luton of Bedford. My please is for the university to consider our plight and help us by opening the facilities until 10pm and also on Saturdays until 4pm at least.
Thank you for raising your concerns. The opening hours for the summer period have been advertised all year so I am a little surprised to receive this complaint at this late stage. Regular opening hours are reviewed each year by 30 May prior to the relevant academic year. It is not possible to review Milton Keynes Campus opening hours to make a change with immediate effect this August.
All students are welcome to use the library facilities at Bedford and Luton
