There are three ways you can access the majority of the Heythrop Library's collections:
1 You can apply for membership of the Heythrop Library. Membership costs £60 per year and includes the facility to have books delivered to the London Jesuit Centre and to use the library reading room at the London Jesuit Centre as a place to work.
2 If you are a member of any university library in the UK, you can access the Heythrop Library through your university's inter-library loans (or documents) services. They will need to contact Senate House Library's ILL department (link see below).
3 You can join the University of London Senate House Library. Membership costs £210 per year and gives you access to University of London collections including the Heythrop Library (except the materials at the Heythrop Library reading room/Mount Street).
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.
