Using the library

Library Issue DeskWe are happy to make our growing library collection (see About the Collection) available to anyone in the Glasgow area who would like to use it.

There is no charge for reference use of the library. For those wishing to borrow books there is a membership fee of £40 p.a. (£15 for former students of the college.) Payment is by cash or cheque.

Members can borrow 10 items at a time for 4 weeks, except for books in heavy demand for college courses.

During the times when the library issue desk is unstaffed there is a book return box (which can also be used when the library is closed).  This offers a safe way of returning books when staff are unavailable.Library  Computers

For more information about joining the library, please call in between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, or email libraryteam@icc.ac.uk. A passport–sized photo is required for a library card, so please bring one with you if you come to join.
