There will be considerable disruption in the Balfour Library on Wednesday. The fire alarm sensor in the ceiling of the domed roof above the main study area needs to be replaced, which will involve men putting up scaffolding, replacing the sensor, then dismantling the scaffolding. This will obviously be quite noisy.
The library will remain open however, and the affected area will be cordoned off, but you will still be able to use the PCs in the bays, and access the journals on the shelves. You will also still be able to use the other part of the library, the Newton Room (the room where the photocopiers are situated), as we will keep the doors to that closed and it should be less noisy.
There will probably be a bit more disruption on Thursday and Friday when we expect that the desks, that have been dismantled in the domed study area to accommodate the scaffolding, will be reassembled.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your continued patience and custom while these works take place.
