Building works are due to start from the 1st June, a temporary library counter will be available in the North Area for most of the summer – whilst the new counter is relocated at podium level.

You can arrange for your books to be sent to Cavendish Library by reserving them and choosing Cavendish as collection location in Library Search.

All print journals will be unavailable during this time, however you will be able to access journals at the RIBA library on Portland Place and at other libraries using a Sconul Access card - please contact me to find out more.

The refurbished library will be fully available from Monday 24th September.
