The entire book collection is shelved in our club rooms (CERN building 564), which is accessible to members at all times with a special code.

The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.

— Albert Einstein

Membership of the club gives you access to our two club rooms. The books in our collection are categorised by genre, indicated with coloured stickers, and each category is arranged alphabetically by author. 

In the first room: new books, children’s books (yellow sticker), non-fiction books (black sticker) and half of the science fiction collection (green sticker).

In the second room: the remainder of  science fiction, crime/thriller (red sticker) and general fiction (blue sticker).

We request that you only borrow a maximum of two of the new books at a time and bring them back within a few weeks to give other members a chance to read them. Any reasonable number of other books may be borrowed.

When you return the books, please take care to re-shelve them in the correct place.
