As 2025 winds down, Flinders University Library sends warm wishes to all students, staff, and community members.

Many library provisions will continue to be available while library staff take a break during the University closure period (from 1pm, 24 December to 2 January 2026 inclusive). During this time, library buildings (excluding City Campus) and information resources (both online and physical) will be accessible 24/7 with your Flinders ID card.

Further service details are listed below, and information about building opening times at all locations can be found in the library opening hours.

🗓️ Key Dates & Services

24 December – 2 January (university closure period)

During this time:

• Library buildings remain open via ID card access for staff and students (except City Campus).
• Security staff will be on site and accessible (except City Campus).
• Computers, Wi-Fi, printers, and self-service borrowing continue as normal.

Goodbye 2025, hello 2026!

From 5 January onwards

• Central, Sturt, Medical, and City Campus Libraries will be open to the public and have their information desks staffed from 5 January. The Tonsley Library information desk will be staffed from Monday 12 January.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back in 2026, refreshed and ready to support your study, teaching, and research!

From all of us at Flinders University Library, we wish you a safe, restful, and joyful holiday break — and a brilliant start to 2026! ✨
