Unexpected closure of Hartley: 15 March (updated)

We are very sorry that we were not able to open the Hartley Library on Saturday 15 March. Work was in progress on the scaffolding around the library doors. This work was more extensive than had been originally envisaged, and it was not safe to use the doors whilst the work was taking place.

This resulted in the closure of the library for the day, which we very much regret. The library re-opened at 09:00 on Sunday and was open throughout the day.

We apologise again for the unexpected closure and for the inconvenience which this has undoubtedly caused.

Mark Brown,
University Librarian

Update

The Library has received a letter from S & K Scaffolding, explaining the situation on Saturday 15 March.
