What's happening at Marylebone Library?

Marylebone Library is being refurbished and is due to be completed soon.  In the meantime access to book stock is currently limited so you will need to request the books you need via Library Search.  

Watch this video if you are unsure how to do that:

Study space may also be limited while the refurbishment is completed.  You may prefer to use one of the other Westminster libraries.  For opening hours and location details see westminster.ac.uk/library
