I’m an NHS employee in Peterborough but I do not work for CPFT. Can I access the library?

We are more than happy to allow non-CPFT staff access to the library. You have to be a CPFT staff member or a student on placement with CPFT to check out books, but we are happy to let non-CPFT staff access our books within the library, and use our computer facilities. Please note that we are in a secure staff area of the Cavell Centre and not immediately accessible.

I have title suggestions for the Cavell Centre Library. Who should I talk to?

If you have anysuggestions please speak to the Assistant Librarian.

Can I check books out from the Laxton Library at PeterboroughCityHospital?

The Laxton library at Peterborough City Hospital is run by Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals Trust. Staff are happy to help staff from other Trusts, but you will not usually have borrower privileges from this library. Should you wish toborrow an item owned by the library, it can usually be borrowed for you through the Cavell Centre library.

The library is located on the first floor of the Cavell Centre. Access to the first floor is behind a secure door, so if you do not have a key card for the building you will need to check in with the reception desk.
