Imperial staff and students will need to display their ID cards for entry. You may be refused entry without a card. Please knock on our library's door to attract staff attention.

Access to the Mint Wing is currently unavailable for Imperial College London ID holders after 20.00 Monday - Friday, and 13.30 - 17.00 on Saturday. As such, access to the library during those times is restricted to NHS Trust ID holders only.

We are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any ongoing inconvenience.
