In a hurry? Did you know there are Short-Stay PCs in the Library?
Located on the Ground Floor behind the gallery (next to the Cafe), the Short-Stay PCs are ideal when you just need to send a quick email, look up a book’s location on Primo or send something to your print queue.
So next time you’re in a hurry and needing to use a PC, give the Short-Stay ones a try!
