The South Wales Miners' Library has an Open to All policy, you may use the library for reference use only - there's a warm welcome for everyone.
Book Boxes are provided by the Miners’ Library to support students on the Part time degree. Books are selected from the reading lists supplied by tutors, together with additional material if required. They are delivered to the venue and stay there until the end of the academic year. Students can pick books from the box to supplement other material which has proved invaluable, especially for those studying at a distance. There are a few guidelines which will ensure that the books are used by all students.
If you have any queries about the Book Boxes please contact the Miners’ Library. |
