Replacement of NHS Library Cards

All Health Library cards with bar code number beginning 508 need to be replaced.

Keele University have updated a number of systems and you will need to replace your library card in order to continue using them. These include:

  • Door access at weekends and in the evenings – the swipe access system on the side-entrance has been updated and you will need a new library card to be able to use it
  • Photocopies and Keele printers – you will need a new card to use the photocopiers and Keele printers and pay for services

Next time you visit the library please pop along to the counter to request a library card replacement.
