Library Services

Loans, Reservations and Renewals

Fellows can borrow up to 5 items (books and/or DVDs) for 3 weeks at a time.

Up to five renewals can be made provided no one else has reserved the item/s.

When borrowing any RSA Fellows' Library material in person, please ask a member of staff or use a "self-service" form from the library desk. You may request to borrow, renew or reserve items by contacting the library via email or on +44 (0)20 7451 6945.

Freepost Service for Library Items

Items can be posted out to UK Fellows using our Freepost Service. This is helpful for those Fellows who are unable to visit the library regularly in person.  After reading the monthly update on the RSA Library Blog or browsing the catalogue online, you can now request the items you want at no extra cost.

Books and/or DVDs will be sent to you anywhere in the UK by first class post - when you want to return them, simply stick the supplied Freepost label back on the packaging you received the contents in, and post it back to the library.

Items can also be posted without a label using the address:
Freepost SW1246
RSA Library
8 John Adam Street
London
WC2N 6EZ

A photocopier is available for use in the library. Photocopying cards can be purchased from the library desk and the main reception desk priced at £1.50 for 10 A4 copies. All copying is subject to copyright laws.
