Library Hub Discover will find you books in other libraries in the UK (plus Dublin).
Library Hub Discover does not tell you which of the libraries it lists you can access, or how to arrange a visit. For this info for London, see: other libraries in London. For other cities in the UK, consult the SIA librarians.
