LSBU Alumni Users


Can I still use the Library once my course finishes?

Former LSBU students and staff can get free access to the Libraries by joining LSBU Alumni.

As a member of LSBU Alumni, you can borrow up to five books at a time, free of charge. Use your Alumni card to take books out at the self-issue machines in the library.
