Arts and Social Studies Library

It’s kinda ugly from the outside but it’s 24 hours, the staff don’t hassle you & there’s always room to sit. 5/5

My fav spot to study.

My favorite libraryOpen 24/7 (Time may varies in bank holidays)There are a lot of study spaces and PCsrest room, vending machines, group study room (need to be booked in advance)Also there are prayer room (Multi-faith)Basically all what you need to get you going and study.

Favourite uni library, it always so packed.Need more charging plug on second floor and third floor please

Good work place only bad thing is it smells a little and it’s always hot and got dry air, and people give dirty looks when you cough

they don't heat, very cold

love it, my favourate library! open 24 hours a day during revision weeks! very clean, tidy place! helpful staff!

I love this place so much, I'm here working at 16:18 on New Year's Eve (no really)

Top tier library, can't go wrong although if you breathe too loud people may give you dirty looks

I have so much love for this library. I did my bachelors at Cardiff from 2017-2020 and some of my fondest memories of what it means to be a student (in the most literal sense, in terms of actually studying) come from this library. I have memories of bringing my tea (or lemsip when I had a cold) and sitting in those cabinet things at the back of the ground floor. I remember first exploring dissertation topics on the first floor. I remember reading history books on the second floor as a fresher, and doing the same on the ground floor as a 22 year old, nostalgic for this space before I’d even graduated. I’ve now studied at three different universities in three different countries, but to me, forever, being a student means clasping my lemsip and Lidl cookies, and carefully picking my study spot in the ASSL, only to always pick the same spot, and stare out the windows, feeling really grateful to be there.
