About the Library
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that whilst at Durham you’ll have to do some work and Van Mildert Library is here to offer you help and support with your studies. Indeed, we aim to support every area of study undertaken by Mildert students and constantly add new titles to our collection. You’ll find the two library rooms, both with Wi-Fi, in the main building on the same level as Reception.
The Bradshaw Room, to the right, houses over 12,000 academic texts, a careers and study-skills section, and course-related DVDs. There are study tables and chairs, and if you choose to sit by the window you’ll have wonderful views across the lake where the antics of the ducks, moorhens and one scary heron can provide a great distraction from linear algebra or 19th Century politics!
Across the corridor the Kent Room 
contains a superb collection of recreational fiction and non-fiction, magazines such as The Economist and New Scientist, and DVDs. Here you can relax on lovely, squishy sofas and read in peace and quiet.
