You need your University ID card

Library facilities are available only to authorised persons defined by University ID or an External Membership card. Please keep your ID with you whenever you visit the library/LRC as you may be asked to identify yourself at any time. You will need to swipe in or show your ID to gain entry and to leave.

Please treat your card with the same care as you would a credit card, since you are liable for item(s) borrowed using your card. Never loan it to anyone else and if you lose your card, a replacement card may be obtained in the University of Bedfordshire Online Store

You will be refused access to all University facilities if you are unable to show your card when asked to do so.

Temporary IDs at Luton

Forgotten your student card? Don't worry.

If you're visiting Luton Library, you can use the temporary card kiosk, located on Level 1, to print a temporary pass. This pass will allow you to enter the library through the library gates and is valid for 24 hours from the time it is issued.

Please note that a temporary pass only provides access through the library gates. It does not grant access to other library or IT services that normally require your student ID card. For example, you will not be able to borrow books using a temporary pass.

You can request up to 12 temporary passes per academic year (August to July).

Important: Temporary passes cannot be used with the accessible or revolving doors on the ground floor of the Luton Campus Library. Please ring the bell for access.
