Exciting update: Library laptop loans
New and improved laptop access at the library!
We鈥檙e making some changes to how students borrow laptops. This is all about giving students better, faster, and more reliable devices when you need them most.
Our self-service laptop lockers are being retired. Instead, students will now be able to borrow newer, more powerful laptops directly from the library customer service desks in Luton and in Bedford between 08:30 and 18:00, Monday to Friday.
Great news for students
- Upgraded devices: enjoy faster performance and better battery life with our latest laptops.
- Personal support: our friendly library team is here to help students get set up quickly and answer any questions.
- More reliable access: no more locker malfunctions or tech hiccups - just easy borrowing.
Laptops will be available from the library Help Desk during staffed hours. Students please check the library website or signage for current opening times outside of term time.
