Home of knowledge and the nucleus of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ life, the is South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s biggest library, housing 2.1 million items on over 63 kilometres of shelving. At the cutting-edge of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n research collections, the Library is a barometer of the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s intellectual vigour and a key resource for staff, students and the wider public alike.

The collegiate atmosphere, magnificent and seemingly endless collection of materials have provided an invaluable resource to students for over seventy years, often beginning an enduring bond that stretches beyond the years of study.

The will soon be launched for 2006. Last year's Appeal raised a record amount, enabling the Library to purchase over 800 new titles, expand its virtual collection and help to establish a state-of-the-art, 24-hour-a-day student computer facility.

Your support for the 2006 Appeal will underpin the Library's future as the premier library in South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, and ensure that we continue to foster first-class learning, teaching and research.
