Joining and Borrowing
Membership of the library is open to all College staff, both Teaching and Professional & Support Services. We should receive your details automatically shortly after you join the College.
Your College ID card is used as your library card. Staff without College ID cards may still join the Library by filling in the application form and presenting a contract or letter of employment from the College, some form of photo ID and a small photograph (contracts must show the start and end dates of your employment). You can have up to 20 books on loan at any one time. 3 week and 1 week loans can be renewed if another reader has not reserved them.
