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.
The latest issue of the Newsletter is now available. It contains Saturday opening; Summer opening hours; AI in the Library; Lexis+® with Protégé™ Training; tours for clerks; a summer exhibition of our special collections; New Acquisitions; Wellbeing spotlight; training at IALS; our Librarian on HistoryHit TV; Visits by the Library staff to the House of Lords and St Edmunds Hall, Oxford; a continuing feature – Rarebytes – to showcase those little known items in our non-law collection; from the Archives we have training for the Oral History Project and a History Society Lecture by Dr Valentin Jeutner; and from our student Intern, a look at the Petyt Printed Book Collection.
