Week beginning July 1st

• Tuesday 2nd –  Four bays of stock on the 1st floor will move to their new home. The area will remain open but there may be noise disruption. Overnight the seven shelving bays on the 1st floor will be removed after hours to avoid noise disruption.
• Wednesday 3rd – PCs, Microfiche and DVD player will move from the ground  to the 1st floor. There will be no PC access that day.
• Tuesday – Thursday – the stock on the ground floor rolling stack and shelving will be removed. There may be some noise distruption.

Week beginning July 22nd
