We are very pleased to announce that Lancaster University Library has been shortlisted and has won the Times Higher Education Outstanding Library Team award!

The Times Higher Education (THE) Award attracted hundreds of entries from higher education institutions across the UK and Republic of Ireland, with nearly a thousand people gathered at the Hilton London Metropole hotel for the awards ceremony on November 17.

Andrew Barker, our Director of Library Services & Learning Development, said; “It was an absolute honour to win the award for Outstanding Library Team at the THE Awards in London, and I’m still giddy at the news. I am privileged to lead a team that I’ve long known to be outstanding. Everyone who works across all our activities does so collaboratively as one team living the University’s values. Their dedication, hard work and good humour is why our library sits at the heart of our university community.”
