Hello from Surly, your Student Union Recreational Library in the campus centre!

Click & Collect will be available during uni breaks, and any lockdowns.

How does it work?

• Browse the collections
  • Search for books online, or check out the Surly’s Instagram for recommendations
  • Browsing tip: when you search our catalogue, titles in bold are currently available; unbolded are on loan or in-processing (you can still request them, but they may take a bit longer).
• Email us or Click to Reserve
  • Email us at msa-library@monash.edu with your requests; or
  • Log in to our online catalogue, click on the item’s title, then click ‘Reserve Title’

• Collect:
  • If the library space is closed, the items will be placed in the MSA lockers (see below).
  • We will email you to confirm when the book(s) is available, along with a temporary pin for the locker 🙂
• Return
  • We will confirm return date with you when you borrow. Our returns chute is always open, just outside the library front door, if you want to return anything earlier

I don’t know what to read???

That’s totally understandable! We know that the online catalogue can’t fully replace the experience of browsing the library shelves in-person, unfortunately. Scroll our instagram for recommendations, or you’re feeling stuck, feel free to email our Librarian at msa-library@monash.edu – let us know what sort of book you’re looking for (genre, style, length, author, etc), or something you’ve enjoyed recently, and we’ll put together some recommendations for you 🙂

Having trouble?

Feel free to email us at msa-library@monash.edu, we’ll be happy to help you.

MSA Lockers

MSA Lockers are located at the top of the eastern stairs of the campus centre 🙂
