Newcastle University Library is the main library service for students and staff at Newcastle University, UK. It is split into three sections:
- The Robinson Library, the main University library
- The Walton Library, specialising in services for Biomedical Sciences in the Medical School
- The Law Library, specialising in resources relating to law
Altogether, these three libraries make up the University Library, and it is the only such library in the United Kingdom to receive the Charter Mark award for excellence five times in a row.
The University Library has won The Times Higher Leadership and Management Award for the Outstanding Library Team.
Some schools within the University also have their own smaller libraries with smaller highly-specialised collections. One example was the School of Computing Science which had its own library until 2010 when it was merged into the collection of the Robinson Library.
