The Library

There is free Wi-Fi throughout the building and each floor of the Library has access to power points if you wish to use your laptop. You are welcome to use your mobile with discretion in the Library, though we ask that you refrain from using them in the silent study areas. PCs are also available to use, located on the 1st and 2nd floors.

Food and drink may be brought into the Library (although strong smelling foods are prohibited) there is a water machine in the Library Lounge on the 1^st Floor.

Printing, photocopying and scanning
On the 1st and 2nd floors of the Library there are printers that can also be used for photocopying and scanning.

Desk spaces can be found throughout the Library for work or study. Silent study rooms are available free of charge. To book a study room, email library@rsm.ac.uk. 

Library lounge
Located on the first floor, the library lounge offers relaxed sofa seating and meeting space with Wi-Fi and laptop points. Just a few steps from the library’s reading room, the lounge is the perfect spot to take a break from studying, grab a hot or cold drink, make a telephone call or have a short Zoom meeting. The lounge is available during the library’s opening hours.

Reading rooms
These are for individual quiet study and are not suitable for online meetings or telephone calls. There are eight PCs with access to internet, databases, Office 365 software and printing services. 

Study carrels
Study carrels offer space for individual private study (carrels number six and seven can accommodate two people), can be booked one week in advance and are available during the library staffed hours (see opening times above). To book a study carrel email library@rsm.ac.uk.

Please be aware of the following usage terms for the carrels:

• Study carrels are for individual study only (or paired study in one of the two larger carrels). Anyone requiring a meeting room for more than studying purposes, or for more than 2 people, will need to hire a room via our Venue Hire team at enquiries@1wimpolestreet.co.uk.
• Usage of the study carrels is for members only – and, as with the library generally, there are no guests allowed in a 2-person carrel without purchase of a Library Pass.
• Study carrels are not sound-proofed in any way so please do not conduct confidential conversations/calls in these rooms without awareness of this or the use of headphones.

If you require a space for group study or working, the Library has several meeting rooms available for hire, some of which come with interactive PCs and whiteboards. To find out more about hiring a meeting room, visit the 1 Wimpole Street website.

Out of hours study space
The glass-fronted study room outside of the library opposite the lifts is available for quiet and group study during the day and becomes an out-of-hours study area during unstaffed hours (see opening times above). The Lounge Bar is also available for late-night study between 11pm and 8am, including weekends. 

Should you need books from the collection, these can be ordered by 5.30pm Monday-Friday and can be made available for collection at Domus reception. 

Open to companies and healthcare organisations looking to provide staff with access to the Library collection and resources.

Buy a temporary library pass to 'drop in' and use the Library for reference purpose only. Weekly and monthly passes available.
