Chilton Library

Knowledge and Library Services at Chilton incorporate our specialist print book collection and an archive of print journals and reports. The space can be used for study or work. 

Chilton library books can still be loaned and returned. If onsite this can be done using the self-issue kiosk (guidance on how to use the kiosk is available on the poster above the kiosk and instructions next to it). Alternatively, if working remotely, you can renew your books online. Renewal instructions.
