As a Christ's student, you can access the Working Library 24/7 with your university card. It is also staffed Mon-Fri 9-5pm, and there are self-service machines for checking books in and out any time. You get to the Working Library via G staircase in First Court, and it's next to the Old Library. We also have a Law Library in First Court.
