I’m an NHS employee in Peterborough but I do
not work for CPFT. Can I access the library?
We are more than happy to allow non-CPFT staff access
to the library. You have to be a CPFT staff member or a
student on placement with CPFT to check out books,
but we are happy to let non-CPFT staff access our books
within the library, and use our computer facilities.
Please note that we are in a secure staff area of the
Cavell Centre and not immediately accessible.
I have title suggestions for the Cavell Centre
Library. Who should I talk to?
If you have any suggestions please speak to the
Assistant Librarian.
Can I check books out from the Laxton Library
at Peterborough City Hospital?
The Laxton library at Peterborough City Hospital is run
by Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals Trust. Staff are
happy to help staff from other Trusts, but you will not
usually have borrower privileges from this library.
Should you wish to borrow an item owned by the
library, it can usually be borrowed for you through the
Cavell Centre library.

The Cavell Centre Library, Peterborough.
To better serve staff based in the north part of our
service area, a second library facility has been opened
based at the Cavell Centre on the Edith Cavell Campus in
Peterborough.
The new library provides knowledge, library, and
information services to staff at the Cavell Centre and
beyond, serving all CPFT staff but focusing on the needs
of those in the north part of our service area.
Where is the Cavell Centre library located?
The library is located on the first floor of the Cavell
Centre. Access to the first floor is behind a secure door,
so if you do not have a key card for the building you will
need to check in with the reception desk.
What facilities are available at the Cavell
Centre Library?
In addition to a mental health book collection, the
library houses over twenty current journal subscriptions
on a wide range of subjects. The library also contains a
reading area, computer and printing facilities.
Checking out books from the Cavell Centre
library
Any staff member of the Cambridgeshire and
Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust can join the library
