St Antony's College Library is open principally for current Fellows and students of the College. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, access is currently restricted; a limited number of study spaces are made available to members of the College who book in advance.
Non-members*
Non-members who wish to consult items which are not available in the University's libraries are advised to contact the Library Staff for assistance.
Alumni*
Ordinarily, former members are very welcome to visit during office hours. Unfortunately, alumni are not permitted to borrow items or study within library reading rooms for prolonged periods unless they wish to consult unique or rare materials.
*Note, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, reading rooms are temporarily closed to those who are not current members of the University.
Readers with disabilities are encouraged to contact the Librarian to discuss their needs.
Unfortunately, the Library's main reading room and book stacks are not wheelchair accessible. However, alternative arrangements for collecting and returning books may be made; Library staff are happy to fetch items for those who cannot use / have difficulty using stairs.
Ergonomic equipment can be found near the issue desk in the main reading room.
