Online resources and digital library

Our libraries provide a range of free resources. We we want you to be able to access them even when the libraries are closed or if you can’t get out to visit us. Browse through our collection of 24/7 resources and library online resources using the A to Z directory or subject areas below.

24/7 resources can be accessed anywhere you can reach the internet. Just log in with your library card number. If you're not a member, you can join the library for free online.

Some online resources are only available after you complete registration. This is due to licensing restrictions.

Library only resources are available at specific libraries in Kensington and Chelsea. Library staff may need to log you in, so just ask.

There are video tutorials on Niche Academy for some of our digital library resources. You'll also find tutorials to help you improve your digital skills, research skills or get started with social media.
