The ICH Library during the Olympics and Paralympics


The UCL Institute of Child health Library will be open for reference only during the Olympics and the Paralympics between 27th July-10th August and 28th August-7th September.
Reference access will be available for Great Ormond Street and Institute of Child Health Library members, Monday to Sunday 8.00-22.45, using your swipecard to access the Library.
Although the library will be unstaffed during this period, most of our services will still be available and supported as follows:
  • For any enquiry please email ich.library@ucl.ac.uk and we will respond as soon as possible to your query
  • The inter-library loan service  will still be available but may be subject to delays due to transport and post disruptions. The store service  will only be delivering to the UCL Science library only. 
  • Books borrowed before the Olympics/Paralympics period won't be due till the end of the Paralympics. Therefore one week loans will be loanable from Thursday July 26th  to Monday 10th September and standard loans from 26th July to Mon 10th September. ICH Library books may be returned to other UCL  libraries during the Olympic period

Wellbeing rooms at GOS ICH

For students and staff looking for a moment of calm from their studies or working day may be interested to know that last summer the EDI team introduced two new spaces to be the GOS ICH community. There are two wellbeing rooms, situated on the ground floor of the Philip Ullman Wing, where you can pray, meditate or reflect. It’s also a place for those who are looking for a calm space to take a bit of time out.  Room G0.1 is intended for multi-faith prayer and religious observance, and as a quiet space.

To respect other users, please familiarise your...
