Marylebone Information Service offers a comprehensive reference and information collection.
It has a wide range of books, periodicals and electronic resources, including free access to the Internet (including WIFI), plus a large reading area. Situated on the upper ground floor of Marylebone Library, it also holds key Health Information resources, a substantial number of Open University publications, and holds the Amnesty International Archives, with publications & annual reports from 1962 to 2000. There are also regular Employment Advice sessions.
The library hosts an Exchange Group Centre that offers over 700 Learndirect courses (some free) ranging from computing to languages. Marylebone is also the home of the Sherlock Holmes Collection (but please telephone before visiting to ensure access). You can find up-to-date information about any forthcoming events in the library by visiting the News section.
