Postal book loans

Many of our books are available to read online. There are some titles that are only available in print so if you are a UK-based distance learning student, a work-based learning student or a degree apprenticeship student you can request that we post books from our printed collections to you.

Who is able to request a postal loan?

We will only post books within the UK. The following students are eligible:

  • students on a distance learning programme who live in the UK.
  • students on work based learning programmes (UK only).
  • students on degree apprenticeships (UK only).
