Special membership rates for Newcastle University music department
We have a special offer available only to music students and staff at Newcastle University. Students can join from just £8 per year for the duration of their studies, whilst staff rates start at just £40. There are no individual hire charges for borrowing CDs and DVDs and you can borrow 5 of these items at a time, as well as 3 scores or music-related books. As a member, you can also request items for the library to buy. Becoming a member makes this vast collection available to you and as our music library is one of the largest in the region, it’s likely that you may find things here that can’t be found elsewhere. For more information on becoming a member, please visit our 'Membership' or 'Music Library' webpages, or call into the library.
