Libraries are more than just books. Find out about this programme and how to apply.

For: students aged 14 – 18 yrs old

Are you interested in art or university life? Do you like helping people find what they are looking for?

Are you keen to know more about how we look after and search for information, online and in books?

In this work experience programme for Year 10 – 12 students, you can spend a week helping UAL Library staff with a range of library activities.

This could include visiting the archives, helping with collection items or working with library staff on information desks.
