As a graduate of the University, you can access the library and borrow up to four books free of charge. To gain access you'll need to visit the library with two forms of ID, one of which should be a photo and the other should show your address. You'll then be issued a library card which you can use to swipe in and out of the library. Please note, this does not allow you to use electronic resources such as online journals, as they are not licensed for alumni use. You can use your own device on-site and gain access to our public wi-fi.
To become a member of the sports centre you'll first need to join the library (see above FAQ). You'll then need to take your card to Sir Tom Finney Sports Centre, where your membership will be processed. You'll need to take a payment method with you. The cost is £12.50 per month (minimum three months) or £130 per year (paid upfront).
