Christmas Landing: Home

?Christmas @ Kimberlin Library?

Planning on staying productive during the holidays? @LibraryDMU is here to support your studies and provide a little fun if you’re staying on campus.


DMU campus may be closed, but we have space and support for you across the Christmas and New Year holiday period:

  • Kimberlin Library will remain open every day over Christmas and New Year with a Security presence. You’ll need your DMU ID card and the building will be "self service" only. Check opening times here
  • We’ll have a selection of board games, activities and giveaways of books to keep, plants and chocolates available in the #DMUFestiveLounge in the Learning Development Zone (LDZ) if you’d like to meet others and share some fun, don't forget to tag us in your photos @Kimberlin Library DMU!
  • If you're in search of some  reading material for entertainment we'll have a selection in our extensive Leisure Reading Collection on the Ground Floor which you can borrow to take home, or curl up with a blanket in your favourite Kimberlin spot as well as ebooks and audio books on LIBBY.
  • Our online resources and self-study materials are available 24/7 from wherever you’re spending the festive period
  • Our out of hours Just Ask service is on hand for remote support
  • If you like films and theatre, we have options for you to view from anywhere without the need for a subscription. Explore films and archive TV recordings through Box of Broadcasts (BoB), or Bloomsbury Drama Online: National Theatre Collection (10 years of National Theatre live broadcasts), plus Bloomsbury Drama Online: Stage on Screen. These services are free to view but you will need your DMU username and password to access these online.

For Careers help while the University is closed you can access MyGateway to:

  • Access careers development related resources
  • View the Jobs Board
  • Book appointments for the new term
  • Book on to events and programmes running in 2025.
Fully staffed services and support will resume from Thursday 2nd January 2025
