We’re thrilled to say that we are now able to offer a ‘Click & Collect’ Library service to allow people to borrow Library books for short periods of time. While we cannot allow people into the Library itself for safety reasons, Library members can now reserve books via our online catalogue for collection from the Cathedral. More information on Click & Collect Search our catalogue Please click here to access our online catalogue, which includes searchable digitised images from our archives. Search our Catalogue Helpsheets We have prepared some handy helpsheets which take you through how to search for, reserve and renew books, as well as information for those needing to undertake research online. All of them start with the instruction to log in to the main catalogue page, which you can do using the button above.

You do not need to be a member to use the library, only to borrow books. Students taking the Certificate in Theology receive free membership as part of the course, and other students are eligible for a 50% discount. As members will not have had normal access during the coronavirus pandemic, we are extending all existing membership for free by 6 months. New members can join for free until 31 December 2020.
