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. Until March 2021 we are offering 15 months' membership instead of 12 for our yearly membership to reflect the fact that we had to close our services for 3 months during the pandemic.
