Borrowing Books
As we have no librarian, this scheme operates on an honesty basis.
- Before removing a book from the library, please email connect@rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk with details of the book you have borrowed. Please indicate how long you are likely to keep the book for.
- All books borrowed by Scholars in Residence should be returned by the end of each Trinity term. Exceptions can be made on request.
- When returning the book, please email connect@rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk again to let us know.
Donating Books
The library does not have a budget for acquiring books, so we are very grateful to Scholars who donate books they have written.
If you are interested in donating a book, please contact connect@rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk. We know that international postage can often cost more than the book itself, so it may be pragmatic to order the book from Blackwell's for delivery to Rhodes House, or make a financial donation for the Trust to buy the books locally.
Catalogue
The Rhodes Scholars' Library has the aim of becoming a definitive list of all books written by Rhodes Scholars, although this is perhaps an unattainable goal. However, within this, the Rosebery Room collection is a complete list of the Scholar-written books we hold at Rhodes House.
