Visiting for the day?
We will usually ask that, where possible, you register as a guest as explained in this guide. However, we know that sometimes students may wish to give their family and friends a tour when they visit for their graduation. Please contact us on Library Talk if this applies to you to discuss your visit.
Visiting our Special Collections and Archives?
If you have made an appointment to visit our Special Collections, you do not need to register as a guest. Our Special Collections are housed on the upper floor of Murray Health, and you will be accompanied by a member of Library staff when using the reading room. Please let the staff member know if you wish to visit Library at Murray during your visit. If you would like to visit Library at Murray regularly and/or use St Peter's Library, please register as a guest as explained in this guide.
