Newnham College Library Company Limited (NCLCL) provides library services to members of Newnham College and to members of the wider academic community. All new library users must arrange with library staff to have an introductory tour and obtain an NCLCL reader’s ticket. Library staff may ask to see your reader’s ticket whenever you are in the library, so please keep it safe.

Resident Members of Newnham College

The library is open for resident members of Newnham College at the following times:

Full Term:	7.00am to 1.45am daily (including weekends)
Vacation:	7.00am to 11.45pm daily (including weekends)

The library is completely closed for several days over the Christmas and New Year period. Any changes to normal opening hours are posted at the library entrance as soon as they become known.

Resident members of Newnham College using the library should bring their University cards with them. These cards are authorised by library staff to give access through the inner and outer library doors during the opening hours for resident members as listed above. The University card is also used with the self-issue system for borrowing books. The main entrance door is unlocked between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday, so that it is always possible to access the library lobby, speak to the library staff, and return library books during staff hours, even if you do not have your University card with you.

The library is staffed 9am – 1pm and 2pm – 5pm Monday to Friday.

Resident members of Newnham College must not admit strangers into the library; and may not bring in guests without the permission of library staff. Personal guests may only be admitted by arrangement with library staff, and during staff hours.

 Non-Members of Newnham College

Non-members of Newnham College may apply to use the library for reference purposes from Monday to Friday between the hours of 9am and 1pm, and 2pm and 5pm. Please contact the Librarian, Ms Deborah Hodder, on tel. 01223 335740 or email librarian@newn.cam.ac.uk for further information and to make appointments.

Disabled Access and Special Requirements

The library is accessible for disabled persons (wheelchair access into the building, lift access to the first floor and basement). You may wish to phone ahead if you require assistance. We are always ready to consider ways in which we can best serve any library user who has special requirements. Please do not hesitate to discuss these with the librarian.
