Library Re-opening

Published Date: 16th July 2020

We are pleased to announce that the library will be officially re-opening from Monday 20 July 2020. We have been working hard over the past few weeks/months in preparation and you will notice some differences - we have had to reduce the number of computers and also the number of people who can work at the study carrels/desks.

We ask everyone to please:

• Wear a mask at all times - if you need one, there will be some available at the enquiry desk
• Keep 2 metres apart where possible
• There will be a number of "cleaning stations" around the library. Use the wipes provided BEFORE you use the following:
  • Computer keyboard and mouse
  • Desks/Study Carrels
  • Printer
  • Telephone
  • Coffee Machine
• Book a computer in advance - please see this blog on how to do this
• Do not leave belongings lying around the library
• Do not eat food in the library
• Put all waste in the bins provided - including wipes and masks

The Library will be limited to 35 people at a time (including computer users) - if the library is full you will not be able to enter unless someone leaves.

We know it may seem like a lot of "Do's and Don'ts", but please remember this is for your safety, the safety of your colleagues and also the Library Team. We are really excited to welcome you back but please be patient as we are working with reduced Library Staff.

Don't forget that if you are unable to come into the library, or prefer not to, that you can still continue to access many of our resources and services virtually via this website.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday!
