Admission and Membership
Visitors and Non Members
Subject to the discretion of the Librarian, anyone with appropriate accreditation may apply for reference access for a maximum of two days, particularly to consult material not available elsewhere, by completing a Visitor's form upon entry to the Library. However, the Librarian reserves the right, if the Library is overcrowded at any time, to ask non-members to return when there is less pressure on space.
