Sconul Access

I am a current student at another university but living in Bedford - I was hoping to use the library just for the study space during my holidays, but wanted to confirm a couple of things - firstly is there WiFi access in the study space, and secondly are there sockets in order to charge my laptop? If so, I was wondering how I could go about using the library?

Thank you for your enquiry. There is no walk in access for members of the public. If you wish to become a member of the library or are eligible for Sconul Access membership you may apply and when your application is processed use the library after that.

First check with your University that you are eligible for Sconul Access If you can join start the process as advised. Then follow the instructions on our website.

Applications (on receipt) take 2 – 5 working days to process. As this is after authorisation from Sconul Access you may not have a membership card before Christmas.

If you are not eligible you may apply for membership and pay the appropriate fee.

Eduroam is available. If your institution does not support Eduroam you may request a guest wifi account. There are power points in designated spaces in the library.
