Click & Collect

Click & Collect will be available during lockdown.

Click & Collect is available during lockdown, please use the booking forms below or contact Ask Inspire 01623 677 200, ask@inspireculture.org.uk. During this time the service may operate slightly differently and may not be available in your location, however Ask Inspire and library colleagues will do everything they can to provide you with the service. 


Inter-library loans and reservations are not available yet with Click & Collect. The service will resume when libraries reopen, where if you are visiting a library you may reserve and collect items in the usual way.
