There's a library at the Bouverie Centre with a small reserve collection. Items can only be borrowed by Bouverie students and staff. You cannot reserve an item already on loan via 'Request a hold' in Library Search. You'll need to contact the Bouverie Centre reception desk.

You can collect items requested from other campus libraries at the City Campus (Collins Street) or Bouverie Centre reception desk during opening hours. You can return items via the return bins at the reception desk or through the return chute at our Melbourne campus library.
