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
