Can I have books posted to me (postal loan)?
Answer
To support students and staff, the library is offering postal loans to UK addresses only. This service offer will be reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Students
When you request a book on library search you will see an option to request the item to be sent to either your home or term-time address. Please make sure your student record is up to date with the correct address information.
Staff
The library doesn’t have staff address information so if you would like to use the postal loans service you will need to tell us which address you would like us to use by emailing:
You can then request your books as normal using library search. It doesn’t matter whether you choose home or term-time address.
Postage
All postal loans will be sent via Royal Mail recorded delivery. Items will be issued to your account for 2 weeks to allow extra time for them to be posted to you.
More information about how postal loans can be found on the Borrowing from the library page.
