Can I bring family/friends with me to the library?

We are always very happy to talk to people who are interested in joining the library! However, the Heythrop Library is a members library; currently, only members and Jesuits may use it. As it stands, the library does not act as a lounge/social space. If you are visiting the building with family or friends, they may wait in the Cana Room at the end of the corridor.

Readers must not share, or allow any other person to use, their reader pass or online membership credentials.

I have lost my Library card. What can I do?

If you have lost your card, we will ask for £1 in cash for producing a replacement card. It is probably best if you email us in advance of your visit. We will normally expect you to show us some photo ID when you come to collect the replacement card. Without a card you cannot borrow from us.
