New Look

Posted on by

For the new year, we’ve adjusted the books on the shelves.  Books on the highest shelves which are hard to reach are now re-shelved at lower levels. All books are now arranged for easy access. If you can’t find your books as before please don’t hesitate to enquire for assistance at the Information Desk. However, available books can be easily found as the shelves are labelled with Call Number ranges that indicate the location of the books.

Do provide us feedback if you’ve any comments about the new arrangement.
