If you are going home over the Christmas vacation but still want to access books you can use the SCONUL Access scheme. This enables you to use the resources of other university libraries over the vacation, on production of your university card. If you're an undergraduate you can use the libraries for reference. If you're a postgraduate you may also be able to borrow items.
