Library Developments

This area of the Library website gives you information on the Library developments happening throughout 2013. You'll find background information and how this will affect the services you use, as well as the benefits to you once each phase is complete.

Keep up to date with developments as they happen via the Library news feed. We'll also update you with changes as they happen via our Twitter feed, which you can see on the right of the page.

What we plan to do

These are exciting times for Durham University Library. Major development work will take place across our Library sites over the next two years. This will ensure that our Libraries in both Durham and at Queen's Campus provide up-to-date and flexible support for research and education. Palace Green Library will become a Heritage Centre at the heart of historic Durham, a UNESCO World Heritage site, displaying treasures from Anglo-Saxon to modern times.

The developments at Bill Bryson Library and Palace Green Library are part of the Durham Project at Durham University
