​Airedale NHS library services can be used by all staff and students of the trust.
​
We offer a range of resources and services which support clinical practice, service development, and all aspects of learning and continued professional development. Our primary function is to provide relevant, high quality information to support you to carry out your role effectively.

Opening Hours
The library is open 9am to 5pm on weekdays. 

Books can be returned through the blue return box which can be found between the Education Centre Reception and Library.

You can access the computer room and seating area outside of these hours, using your staff ID card with the card reader on the doors opposite the Education Centre Lounge.

Renewing Books
You can renew library books through the library catalogue or the MyCirqa app. You will need your reader code and PIN to log in. The reader code can be found on the email notifications you receive from the library. If you need to reset your PIN, please contact us.


To access most of the resources listed below you will need an OpenAthens account. Where you see a log in option you may need to select an institution which will be NHS England.
The following helpsheets and video tutorials have been designed to give you a quick overview of our resources and how to access them. Library staff are able to provide you with more detail and insight through one-to-one sessions and group training.
