Disruption in the library next week

A new carpet is being fitted in the domed study area of the library only, during the whole week beginning Monday 28th March. *NOT like the one in the photo!

All the desks in this area of the library will be dismantled and moved out of the way, the existing carpet tiles will be removed, the new tiles will be laid, and then the desks can be re-assembled.

This will obviously generate some noise and disruption in this area of the library, which will be closed off to readers. In addition, some of the bays where PCs are located may also be unavailable as we need to store all the library furniture somewhere while the carpeting takes place. If you need any books or journals from areas that have been closed off, please ask a member of library staff for assistance; do not fetch things yourself.

The other room in the library, where the photocopiers are located, will still be available for use however. Library staff should be able to minimise any noise reaching this area of the library. You will still be able to plug in your laptops there, and to use the Lapwing wireless connection, and the scanner and photocopiers there will remain operational. Alternative PCs are available in the 2nd Floor Computing Room (cardholders only)

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
