Library services at Folkestone are a partnership between the University Centre Folkestone (UCF) and Kent County Council.

Folkestone Public Library is a short step from UCF and offers students a wide range of services including course materials, CDs, DVDs, study areas, photocopiers, PCs, qualified library staff and access to both Kent County Council's and  the University's online catalogues. Both catalogues can also be accessed in the Learning Resource Centre at UCF and in teaching rooms on the campus.
