This service remains completely free as part of your RCN membership, and return postage is still covered by us. The way you return books to the RCN Library and Museum remains unchanged.
We hope you enjoy this easier way to borrow books. If you have any feedback about this or any of our services, please let us know via our Feedback and book suggestions form.
