About the library

Leeds Arts University is the only specialist arts university in the north of England, and has library collections that reflect the evolving teaching priorities of a student-focused institution. These collections are held at two libraries; the main university campus library at Blenheim Walk, and the Further Education campus library at Vernon Street.

The Leeds Arts University Special Collections are home to around 2000 Artists' Books, Photobooks and Illustrative Books. These collections contain many volumes which are works of art in their own right and they are an important resource for research, teaching, and inspiration and are all discoverable in Library Hub. The Library also houses the institutional archive with important material relating to the history of the institution, but this is not currently discoverable in Library Hub.

The local library catalogue is available online.
