How can I join?
You can join the Evangelical Library by
post, or in person during a visit to
the Library itself (near Baker Street Underground Station in London).
How much does it cost?
The cost of becoming a member of The Evangelical
Library is £25 per annum (though £15 will be acceptable
for those who cannot afford it). If you wish to order on-line or
order by correspondence and use the Library's mailing service
to receive your books we will require a further £5 deposit
- the cost of mailing the books by post will then be deducted from
this account. We will notify you when the deposit account needs
replenishing.
NB. You will appreciate that the above amount
in no way covers all the expenses incurred by the Library. The Library's
unique resource of books will also be a rich spiritual heritage
for future generations to us. We therefore need to protect and value
it. Any extra donations (i.e. donations under the gift aid
provisions) you may care to give over and above the amount required
for membership will therefore be gratefully received. The Library
is a registered charity and is also therefore able to reclaim tax
from the gift aid giving of all UK Income Tax payers (at no extra
cost to you).
Borrowing Books
As a member you will be eligible to:
- borrow as many books as you would like (NB. But only
up to four books during the first year of your subscription).
- borrow books for up to a two calendar month period.
- renew the lending period by e-mail, phone or correspondence.
- receive our regular Bulletin magazine, updates and other special
sale offers from time to time.
No notes or markings of any kind can be made on
the books. Fines for overdue books will be charged at 4p per
book per day (24p per week per book as we do not count Sundays). (these will also be deducted from the initial deposit).
Our unique mailing service
Our unique mailing service sets us apart from
many other libraries. Once you have become a member of the Library
we will attempt to send out the books you have requested within
24 hours of receiving your request. All books will be well-packed
and, where possible, we ask that you re-use the same packaging (or
packaging of an equivalent protective nature) when returning books.
NB. Thin manilla envelopes are not suitable.
Overseas mailing
Members from abroad will be allowed an appropriate
degree of latitude when returning books from overseas. Old and rare books
Sadly, old and rare books cannot be ordered through
our mailing service - neither should they be returned by post.
Further information:
Reference materials - the Library also
has a stock of reference materials which can only be used on the
premises only. The Library has desks available for study in the
Reference Room and Periodical Room during normal opening hours (see
Home page).
Photocopies from periodical materials can
be made, subject to copyright, at a cost of 10p per copy.
