Welcome to your Library: Getting Started

A warm welcome to our new and returning students to the 2026/2027 academic year!

As Arnold Bennett says, "I have always been happy in libraries", and to make sure you're happy in our libraries, let us tell you how to find us.

There’s two libraries at Keele University – the Campus Library and the Health Library.

The Campus Library is numbered 11 on the campus map and is located near to the Claus Mouser building and the Chapel, just a short walk from the Union Square. The Library is entered on the middle floor via an external staircase and there is a ground floor entrance for people with mobility issues. Access to the Library is via swipe card so please always bring your Keele card with you.

The Health Library, a joint NHS/HE library within Staffordshire supporting healthcare staff and Keele students, is located on the ground floor of the Clinical Education Centre at the Royal Stoke University Hospital. The Health Library has a range of facilities to support your studies and work, as well as a blog to keep you up to date with the latest news and developments.

You can check out the Campus Library’s opening times as well as the Health Library’s opening times for our vacation opening hours, and contact both the Campus Library and Health Library too.

Don’t forget that your library is with you throughout your journey at Keele University, and our Library Handbook 2026 is a useful source of information.
