Closing the book on 2024: happy holidays from the library!
It’s been a big year: Deakin Library welcomed more than 1.2 million visitors throughout 2024, and our users have borrowed or accessed more than 10.5 million resources in our collection. Our Exhibitions and Public Programs attracted visitors from every campus and members of the community all over the state, with more than 4100 visitors engaging with our Library programs during the year. We have loved being part of your Deakin journey this year, and we look forward to continuing to support you in 2025.
With the University holiday closedown approaching, we hope you are gearing up for a well-earned break. Aligned with the rest of the campus, our libraries will be closed over the holidays, and services such as Library Chat and phone/email enquiries will be unavailable during this time.
All campus libraries will be closed from 5pm on Friday 20 December 2024. Libraries will reopen at different times in 2025; please see below for details about your campus.
