UPDATE: Library building open as normal - Saturday 21 June

We are pleased to report that the Library building is now open with full access to power. Members can enjoy access to all services as usual.   

UPDATE: work continues on power outage issue

UK Power engineers have been working on the issues in the local area and power has been largely restored. However, we are still working to restore our building systems, which may take a few more hours. Therefore, the building will remain closed to members for the rest of the afternoon.

We are expecting the Library to be open as normal on Saturday 21 June.  

Thank you for your patience.

Library building closed due to local power outage - Friday 20 June

Due to a UK Power outage in the local area, the Library building is currently unable to open to ensure the safety of our staff and members.

Along with neighbouring buildings, large areas of the Library are affected included the stacks, lifts, toilets and fire alarms. Members may also experience a delay in communicating with staff who cannot access emails.

Engineers are currently working on this issue and we have been advised that we may be able to open this afternoon.

In the meantime, members not visiting the building today can make use of our electronic resources, Catalyst, and eBooks, as well as the online events available through the website.
