The winter holidays are nearly upon us, bringing with them the opportunity for a much-needed break from study and research. And before the festivities arrive we would like to let you know about the various opening hours which operate across our different libraries, both before and after the holidays.
Our three different libraries will be moving into holiday opening hours from the end of Friday the 18th of December and all three sites have slightly different hours. Read below to see the hours and to see just when the libraries will be reopening in the New Year.
One thing all three sites have in common are the following dates during which they will NOT be open:
All Libraries Closed from
5pm on Wednesday 23rd December until Tuesday 5th of January 2016
