Can I access and borrow books as a King's Alumni?

Answer

KCL Alumni have life-long visiting access to all KCL libraries

Visits are restricted to library staffed hours only. Please, be prepared to show your King's Connect account and a valid form of photo ID to security.

For more information on how to set up a King's Connect account for free, please visit Alumni Benefits.


Alumni+ (paid subscriptions)

KCL Alumni who wish to borrow books, need to fill out our Alumni+ Subscription Form.
You will have the option to choose between 2 discounted (50%) subscription options:

  • £30 for 6 months
  • £60 for 1 year

Alumni+ users will be provided with an ID card for swipe access outside of staffed hours (subject to library opening times) and will be able to borrow up to 5 books (you can take out up to five books in one go but you’re only allowed to have a total of five books on your account).

Please, always bring your Alumni+ card a form of ID with you if you would like to visit our libraries outside library staffed hours or borrow books. If you have forgotten your Alumni+ card, you can still visit (during library staffed hours only) by showing your King's Connect account to security. You will not be able to borrow books without your Alumni+ ID card.
