Antrim refurbishment
Click to read about the Antrim Library refurbishment and for help on how to borrow and return books/articles during the works.
The library has been temporarily closed over the past few weeks as it undergoes a major refurbishment. Work is progressing well, and we hope to welcome users back by the end of the summer.
Originally opened in 1983, when Fern House was home to the Northern Area College of Nursing, the library has supported generations of learners and staff. This refurbishment is the first major transformation of the space since it first opened over 40 years ago.
When the library reopens, users can look forward to a refreshed, modern learning environment featuring two dedicated seminar rooms, upgraded computer facilities, and comfortable new study spaces. The improved layout and facilities will provide a more flexible and welcoming space for learning, teaching, and collaboration.
In the meantime, the Healthcare Library website remains available at https://healthcarelibrary.qub.ac.uk/
Requesting Books:
- Stock from this library branch is unavailable during the refurbishment but please check the library catalogue in case the text is available in another library branch or is available as an electronic book.
Returning Books:
- Books can still be returned via the Trust internal mail to Antrim Healthcare Library, Fern House, Antrim Hospital Site, BT41 2QB or in person by leaving them in the Returns Box at the library door.

Membership
Moving department or location on Changeover Day? Click here.
If you are moving to a new location or post at the beginning of February as part of HSC Changeover Day, it is important to update your details with The Healthcare Library of Northern Ireland.
Updating your details will ensure a seamless service from The Healthcare Library especially when using the online request form or borrowing items. This will ensure that if the Library is posting books out to you, they are sent to the correct work address. The same applies to any books or articles requested from other libraries on your behalf.
As always, if you have any questions about your membership, please contact us by emailing: info@healthcarelibrary.qub.ac.uk or make contact with your nearest library branch.
