The new teaching term at the London Jesuit Centre began on Monday 21 September, which means some changes to the way we handle library membership for LJC students have now come into effect:
Going forward, to those enrolled on courses at the London Jesuit Centre we will be offering free half-membership only. This means access to the reading room and borrowing from the collections stored in the reading room at Mount Street, and does not include free requests for materials stored in our offsite locations.
However, LJC students will now be able to keep their membership until the end of the LJC 2026-27 academic year in July, regardless of when they enrolled on their course. Anyone enrolled on courses during the 2026-27 teaching year can continue to use their free half-membership until 30 July 2027.
For those that wish to request offsite store materials this will still be possible: however, it will require a fee of £5 per item requested, on a pay-as-you-go basis. Please see the following page of our website for detailed instructions and FAQs about how to do this: https://heythroplibrary.co.uk/about/join-us/collections/off-site-store-crown-or-deepstore/request-books-from-offsite-storage-pay-as-you-go/.
The option to pay £100 for full membership for 12 months is of course still available, more information about that can be found on our website here: https://heythroplibrary.co.uk/about/join-us/.
