From the University Library

08 January 2010

University Library (except HSL & NOL) closed 11 January

Some parts of the University Library will be closed on Monday 11 January, due to safety concerns as a result of prevailing weather conditions:

"Please be aware that the University will be closed on Monday 11 January. This decision has been taken due to safety concerns arising from a depleted supply of grit.

"Our current supply has run out and our pre–ordered replacement grit has been redirected to the Highways Agency‚ leaving the University unable to secure the safety of staff and students. This is combined with further forecasts of heavy snow on Sunday evening and Monday.

"We will do everything to re–open on Tuesday. Please monitor the website and SUSSED for updates." News release from the University (edited)
