Reservations and Suggestions
If the item you want is on loan and you wish to reserve it, please let one of the Library Staff know. If you would like to suggest that the Library acquires a particular item, give the details to a member of the Library Staff.

Photocopying
A photocopier is located in the Issue Desk area. Please note that all photocopying must be within the regulations of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Library staff will advise on whether an item may be copied.

Enquiries
If you have any questions or problems, please ask at the Issue Desk or Library Office, where any member of Staff will be pleased to help.

Donations
The Library is always pleased to accept donations of sheet music, books and sound recordings in good condition. Gifts that duplicate existing stock, or are otherwise surplus to requirements, will be passed on to our students for a modest donation to Library funds. If you are interested in making a donation to the Royal Academy of Music Library please contact the Librarian on library@ram.ac.uk.
