Reference and Information

Are you looking for information, a place to study or do some research or just somewhere to ask a question?

If you are, then the Borough Libraries can help you. All our Libraries provide a core collection of reference materials for you to use. For more information please see the links below.

If you are not able to visit your local Library, why not e-mail us on information.services@rbkc.gov.uk or use our online enquiry form. There is also The People's Network Enquire service where you can ask questions on-line 24-hours a day.

 

24 hour library services

We have extended opening hours, but sometimes you need information and help 'out of hours', or wish to find information at a time more convenient to you. Therefore we have put together a list of '24 hour' services - websites you can access from home or the libraries.

Try the 'Online Reference' links on the right-hand side - the majority of these links are set up to allow you to access as a guest from home. If you are viewing this page from within the library you may need to use a different website address, just ask to speak to a librarian, who will be happy to help.

If you can't find what you are looking for email us on information.services@rbkc.gov.uk
