Library Refurbishment This February

Sarum College Library will be closed from Monday 2 February to Friday 20 February whilst we carry out an extensive refurbishment.

Those of you who know our well-loved library will know that it is looking a little tired these days. All that will be changed in February as the result of a legacy from Miss Heather Mathews, a member who loved coming to the library and appreciated the personal touches we offer.

These works will see the main library room completely re-fitted with a new carpet, pale walls, more electrical sockets, new lighting and improved heating. These improvements will make the library an attractive, comfortable space for staff, volunteers and readers.

During the refurbishment process there will be no access to the main library room (and the books in it) and we will only be able to lend books that are normally in rooms 2 and 3 (270.8 to 999 in the classification scheme) or which we’ve retrieved in advance.

If you think that you might need any books during February, please send a list of the titles to the library by Friday 30th January. Books from current reading lists will be available in one of the other library rooms and the catalogue and loans system will be working as normal during these three weeks but other services may be limited.
