We run a delivery service between the University Library, King's Manor Library and the Minster Library for the convenience of staff and students.
The service includes retrieving and returning items from the Library’s off-site store:

There will be no request option as copies are available at both libraries. |
The Minster Library |
The University Library |
The University Library and the Minster Library |
There will be no request option as copies are available at both libraries. |
Note: You can't request items to be delivered to the Minster Library, as space restrictions mean that we can't accept deliveries there. We don't deliver items from the Minster Library to the King's Manor Library as the two libraries are very close to each other.

As part of this delivery service, books borrowed from York Minster Library can be returned to the University Library on Heslington campus or to King's Manor Library.
The store contains books and journals identified as having low use. Print journal volumes are mainly available electronically. Please check YorSearch, the library catalogue before requesting.
Journals retrieved from the store are non-borrowable and may not be removed from the Library.
Books retrieved from the store are borrowable.
Please note
We collect items from the off-site store once per week. Items requested before 12pm on Wednesday will be collected on Thursday.
