The Lending Library is open to all members who have proof of identity, proof of address and have paid the annual subscription. The Reference Library is open to everyone for the reading of books and newspapers from the Library's collections. The Research Room is open to bona fide academics and researchers for access to the Library's manuscripts and archives. Access to power-points for own lap-tops or a desk-top PC are available. As space is limited, it is best to phone beforehand. The Circulating Library (CCL): The Library also runs a circulating loan service and supplies British public libraries with sets of Polish books. If your local public library does not provide Polish books, please ask your local library to subscribe to the CCL. The Government currently supports ethnic diversity. As a result, linguistic minorities are entitled to access to material in their own languages, and the Polish Library's circulating service is the most cost-effective way of providing such access to the Polish community.
