Health Library News

  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.

You can now use your Keele card to pay for library fines using the self-service unit located in the photocopier room. Simply insert your card and follow the on-screen instructions. To top up your Keele card use the card loader machines also located in the photocopier room or go online .

If you are in your  final  year at Keele and have any outstanding Library fines, we would be willing accept book donations against the value of these. Any books offered should be in good condition and cited on reading lists; We reserve the right not to accept books and wouldn’t offer more than a third of the value of the book when new; We are unable to give out cash but would offset the amount offered against the value any Library fines you may still owe. Unaccepted items will be returned to you. Please note … This service is for  finalists only . We can only deal with fines for items from the Health Library – for fines on items from Keele Campus Library please contact Campus Library. Please go to the counters at either the Campus or Health Libraries if you would like more details.
