How can I Visit?

All staff and students can visit the Cardiff Uni library sites, but we welcome the general public too, as well as alumni, NHS staff, and staff and students from other educational institutions. Many of our sites can be accessed by the general public (check the website for information on opening times and access) and you are free to browse our books. The only exception to these rules is Central Square Library, which can only be accessed by the staff and students from the school of journalism.

CLIC itself offers a special membership for people living or working in the city: All the information on this and our other membership options can be found here:
