The library is at the heart of Stockport College; it provides our students with a vibrant and positive learning environment. We’re proud to offer a large, modern space for students to work, a well-managed service, quality resources and friendly, professional support.
Whoever said a library is just books has clearly not set foot into ours. Stockport College library is so much more than a place to just come and read. We’ve put together a helpful list of what you can expect to find when studying with us:
Support is available through the Library to all Stockport College students who need additional assistance with their studies. Our team are here to refine your skills and enable you to achieve your potential from Foundation through to University Level.
