Unexpected closure of Hartley: 2 March

I am very sorry about this unexpected closure of the Hartley Library yesterday (Sunday 2 March). Scaffolding around the main entrance became unstable in the high winds over Saturday night/Sunday morning, and following a risk assessment by Security early on Sunday morning, it was agreed that the main entrance could not be used until the scaffolding was secured. This is now in hand.

Notices were posted directing users to other sites/facilities, but we understand that the closure will have inconvenienced users, and we apologise for the disruption.
