Disruption on Friday 3rd July

Essential repair work to the library staircase is being carried out on Friday 3rd July.

The Reading Room, Upper Library and Library Desk will be open and operating as usual. It is inevitable however that there will be noise, dust and a certain amount of smell.

The Lower library will not be available for study and the two reader PCs will be out of use. It will however be possible to obtain books from the lower library stacks by using the fire exit. If you need books from the lower floor, please ask at the Library Desk and staff will either fetch books for you or show you the way down.

We apologies for any inconvenience caused by this work, which is necessary for safety reasons
