Hi, I have some feedback about the Bedford Library and it's opening hours. I was just wondering if there were plans to extend the opening hours to be opened earlier than 830. As a 'mature' learner with children the library opening till later is great, but actually would make more sense if I could get into the library before 830am. The library seems to be the place that I am the most productive, and so I'm keen to get to the library before my lectures start to get a couple of hours worth of work in! I've spoken to a few of my peers who also think it would be beneficial if the library opened earlier. I'm aware that Luton are, or are moving to, a 24 hour service and just curious as to why this isn't an option for the Bedford campus. Many thanks
Thank you for your email. During the last academic year the library has been open on very restricted opening hours. Moving out of the pandemic it has given the University to review the opening hours offer and run a pilot year of opening to see if this fits the student needs. The review looked at pre pandemic use and arrived at this opening hours profile for Bedford in consultation with faculties & BEDSSU

Its being run as a pilot until 31 August 2022. Any feedback will influence opening hours going forward.
There are no plans to open Bedford campus library before 8.30am at the moment.
I will save your feedback and it will be used as a part of the pilot
