About the Library

We are here to support all staff and students based at The Christie. If you can’t find a resource or service that you are looking for, please get in touch and we will help however we can.

Email: the-christie.library@nhs.net

Phone: 0161 446 3452

Or pop in and speak to us during our staffed hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm).

Find the Library

The physical Library space is located on the second floor of the Withington hospital site in department 60. You can follow signs across the hospital featuring our Library book icon to find us.

You can see the full directions to find us on our HIVE page (The Christie staff intranet).

Join the Library

To register for a Library account which will allow you to borrow physical books, you can complete our library registration form on HIVE or fill out a paper form in the Library. Just ask us at the Library desk.

You will also need a barcode to allow you to access the self-service book issue machine. Again, just ask us at the desk during our staffed hours.
