Our main campus library, the Kimberlin Library has four floors offering a range of individual and collaborative study spaces, fixed IT and loanable laptops. Use the Kimberlin Library Trail as a guide as you walk around the building, or have a look before you come and visit us to see where everything is located. Our Archives and Special Collections are located on the Lower Ground Floor.

The Drawing Centre 

The aims of the Drawing Centre (DC) are the development of students’ visual learning and communication (look, see, record); using drawing to explore ideas in visually-based programmes and as a host location (physical/virtual) for developing artists to engage with their creativity. The Drawing Centre is open Monday-Friday 9-5 with Studios 1-3 located in the Mill Studio and the new Studio 4 in The Greenhouse

Keeping Safe in Our Spaces

Here at DMU’s library service, we love that you feel our study spaces are a home away from home. However, we are a public space and sadly thefts occasionally happen. To avoid this happening to you, we ask that you do not leave your belongings, especially your valuables (money, credit cards, mobile phones or laptops just to mention a few) unattended. You can find out more about keeping safe in our spaces here.
