Get to know our libraries
Remember your card
You will need your college ID to enter the library building and borrow items. Take it with you every time you leave the building and never lend it to anyone else.
We are here to help
Talk to library staff if you have any questions about our libraries and resources
When your course starts you'll receive a College ID card, use it to enter any of our study spaces and libraries:
- Abdus Salam Library at South Kensington
- Medical campus libraries at Charing Cross, Chelsea and Westminster, Hammersmith, Royal Brompton and St Mary's hospitals
- Silwood Park Campus Library
- GoStudy spaces
Many of our libraries are open 24 hours and our self-service facilities mean that you can borrow and return books at all times.
Remember that our libraries are for everyone - please share the space fairly and respect the Library regulations.
