"Harry wandered over to the Restricted Section... you needed a specially signed note from one of the teachers to look in any of the restricted books, and he knew he'd never get one. These were the books containing powerful Dark Magic never taught at Hogwarts, and only read by older students studying advanced Defence Against the Dark Arts." - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
"The Restricted Section was right at the back of the library.”- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
To gain access to our books in Closed Access you have to fill in a form requesting what you would like to see and then our librarian goes to the back of the library to retrieve it. Only a limited number of staff have the privilege of stepping foot into this room.
