Changes to the Swanston library over the summer break

As we prepare for the new Swanston Library in 2017 there’ll be some changes over
summer. Level 5 of the Swanston Library will be closed with Library services and collections being consolidated on level 6 until February 2017.

So what does that mean?

• The entrance to the Library will be on Level 6.
• The service desk, collection of book, journal, audiovisual and reserve items will be on level 6.
• Library materials can be returned to the service desk on Level 6 and also via the returns box on Level 2 of Building 8 (near Swanston St).
• The slide collection has moved to Carlton Library.

When will the new library spaces open?
The dates may change but current projections are:

Semester 1 (mid-February till end of July)
We’ll be progressively opening new Library spaces, in stages, throughout the semester.

Semester 2 (end of July onwards)
All the new Library spaces will be open.

Throughout this transition we will continue to provide the same high-quality Library service and we will continue to provide maximum possible access to collections and study spaces.
