Winchester School of Art Library is a specialist art and design located, based on the University of Southampton's Winchester School of Art campus. Our collections include books, e-books, print and electronic journals, graphic novels, zines and artists' films. Our special collections include the Knitting Reference Library, the Winchester School of Art Archive, and an extensive collection of artists' books and Visionaire.
The original Winchester School Library was located in the Rotunda, which was purpose-built in the 1960s. Although we still use the Rotunda to house some of our special collections, our main site is now on the first floor of the West Side building.

Our Library is split across two connected rooms: Library 1 and Library 2. In addition to soft seating and study desks, we have PC workstations throughout the library, as well as 1 A3 scanner and 1 MFD (Multi-Function Device) which have a scanning function. If you would like to use your own laptop, we have numerous power points in close proximity to study space.
