The Online Library Catalogue
Brent is part of a group of 12 London Library authorities called the London Libraries Consortium enabling us to offer a combined service of over 5 million items for loan including books, films, music, books on CD and even Playstation games. Go to Brent's online library catalogue, to either view details of or reserve any of the items available for loan. You can also renew the existing items on your account.
