A number of services, including the buses and libraries, will have reduced opening hours/service over the winter break, which runs from Monday 21 December 2020 - Friday 8 January 2021. Details for core BU services will be updated nearer the time.
Libraries
Borrowing
From Friday 27 November onward, you can borrow ordinary loan and one-week loan books and DVDs for Christmas and the whole of the winter break. They will be due for return or renewal on Wednesday 13 January 2021.
Check your reading lists now, and request any print items you need via our Reserve & Collect service.
E-journals and e-books are all available off campus using your BU username and password, and don't forget that the Study Skills area on Brightspace has lots of resources and online tutorials to help you improve skills such as academic writing and revision techniques.
Opening times
The Bournemouth House Library is due to close permanently on 18 December. The new Weston Library at Bournemouth Gateway Building will open on Monday 4 January 2021, along with the Sir Michael Cobham Library. Check the full details for the library opening times.
UNIBUS
The UNIBUS vacation service timetable is available on the website, which includes the U3 service times over the festive period.
Students will be able to access the more bus 17 service to travel between Lansdowne and Talbot Campus with a UNIBUS pass when the U1 is not running over the winter break period.
