Updates on our library move!

We are set to start moving our belongings into our new library, located in the Mint Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital, on Thursday 29 August with the library opening for use in September.

Apologies for any disruption to our service during this period.

Our new library will be open to both NHS and Imperial users.

About us

The library is on the ground floor of the Medical School Building and has 2 floors:

  • Ground floor - quiet study, books, print journals, PCs and group study rooms
  • First floor gallery - silent study and PCs 

Books and journals

Our collection covers general medicine (including medical textbooks), nursing and professions allied to medicine.

Most new journals are available online but we also have a small collection of print journals on the ground floor.

When the library is closed you can return books using the book returns box outside the library, available during building opening hours.
