The library is staffed 8.30am-4.30pm Monday-Friday. 24-hour swipe card access for members is available. We have not been issuing fines for the past few months, however this will be introduced again from 1st October. You will be able to renew your books 3 times online before they will need to be brought into the library.

You may notice a few changes:
- You must wear a mask at all times in the library.
- Social distancing must also be observed – please follow the signage around the library, particularly when queuing at the counter or using the printers/ photocopiers.
- There are cleaning stations, masks and hand sanitisers readily available. Please use the sprays and cloths provided to clean your workspace or computer before and after use.
- Some clear plastic screens have been installed to help with social distancing. Please try not to push or lean on the screens.

You can now make book reservations and ask for books to be sent from the other libraries in our patch (log into the catalogue with your barcode and PIN).
