Reopening

Libraries, even in tier 3, will be able to open from 2 December.  We can't wait to welcome you back. There may be some limitations but we'll keep you posted.  Opening hours as before, and Members-only will be able to book slots once again.

In the meantime, please be reassured of the following:

We have relaxed all our loan periods, and do not feel you need to post books back to us. Do hold onto them as long as you need to while this situation is upon us (and as you already know we never charge fines).  

All books and CDs we are coming into contact with now and over the coming weeks will be quarantined for 72 hours.

We are committed to working through this together in the most responsible and compassionate way we can, just as you would expect us to.  While uncertainty abounds, please know that our commitment and loyalty to you, our valued members, visitors and supporters remains as steadfast as ever.

We thank you again for your continued support and patience and urge you to take care and stay safe.

The library is currently closed to non-members as part of our gradual reopening programme. However, as soon as we can we will be reinstating our famous and popular guided tours.
