COVID-19 (Coronavirus) - the RCN Library and Archive Service is currently online only 

Following government guidance to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, the RCN has made the difficult decision not to re-open the library spaces at the present time.

Our services are available online, as they have been throughout the COVID pandemic.

For the latest Library and COVID-19 information please visit our keeping up to date page.

Library and Archive Service staff are available via email, webchat and telephone during our opening hours (Monday-Friday 9am-7pm, Saturday 9am-5pm).

Our training sessions and events continue online.
