How long do postal loans take?
Answer
Available books - If the books or items are available in the library, we will look for them the next working day (Monday - Friday) after you have made your request. We anticipate that postal loans may take up to 10 days to be delivered to you, dependent on postal services. We will send items to you using Royal Mail recorded delivery.
Books currently on loan - If the book(s) or item(s) you request are on loan to someone else this will take longer. Items out on loan will need to be recalled so how long it takes for them to be posted to you will depend on how quickly the books are returned to the library.
Books will be issued to your account for 2 weeks to allow extra time for these to be posted to you.
If you need access to something urgently we recommend you check Library Search to see if it's available online - this is the quickest way to access library resources.
