We have had the ok to get some re-decorating done following the opening of the new ground floor in the Central Library.
As such, while this painting and re-carpeting is carried out, there will be no access to Level 2 during this period (anticipated to be 3-4 weeks).
However we will be running a fetching service for books located on this floor.
See the Library website for further information
