Cashless payments only at the Health Library

 We are now cashless at the Health Library.

If you need to pay any library charges or purchase anything at the counter we now only take credit / debit card payments.

You don't need to visit the library to pay your overdue charges. The Health Library also offers you the option of paying any library charges online via the Keele University online store. Both Keele University members and NHS staff members can use the Keele University online store.

Please see our website for more details on paying library charges and instructions on how to use the Keele University online store.
