Library staff offer one-to-one training on a wide range of topics. Book online for an in-person or virtual session tailored to your research needs.

Get to know the Library and the services available to you with a short, practical introduction from library staff.

These 30-minute tours are exclusively for student members of the Inns of Court. Tours are designed to give you a quick orientation so you can make confident use of the Library, its collections and its facilities. Book online.

During August and the first week of September the Library will open at 9.00am and close at 5.30pm. Also the Library will be closed from Monday 17 August to Monday 31 August inclusive. This calendar gives the opening hours of all four Inn Libraries over the summer vacation.

During the closed period the document supply service will still be available.

This is an invitation to find out more about the Inner Temple Library special collections. Ranging from the 12th to the 21st century, and covering a disparate range of subjects, our special collections contain thousands of items that even the most inquisitive Library user is unlikely to have encountered on the open shelves. Book your ticket to view a hand-picked selection of these items up close and in person on 21 July, guided by members of the Library team.

Book for tours starting at 5pm, 6pm and 7pm.

A list of New Law Titles and Editions recently received by the Library between March and May 2026 has recently been published.
