The Art Library has 25,000 books for loan on all aspects of art and design, including painting, sculpture, crafts, graphics, photography, fashion, furniture, glass, ceramics and architecture.
You can also refer to a wide range of current and historic art journals, dictionaries, exhibition catalogues and sales guides in the library.
There is free Internet access to help with your art research, and you can use the Art Index and the Design and Applied Art Index online, often the only source of up to date information on obscure and very recent work. If you are a library member, you can access Grove Art online from this page. Click the link and type in your card number (LDP and the numbers) at the log-in page.
The friendly and knowledgeable staff will be happy to help you find the book you need or answer your enquiry. They can also arrange tours of the library and talks about stock and services for students and interested groups.
The Art Library is a member of LALIC, Leeds Art Libraries in Co-Operation and can give you information about other art libraries and collections in the city and beyond.
Some of our art and music collections are currently inaccessible due to a refit in the stack area. Please ring us first to make sure items are available to avoid an unwanted journey. Thank-you
