The Service Desk will not always have a Library team member after 5pm, or at weekends. If you have an in-depth query or need to see a member of the Library team outside traditional office hours you may wish to phone and check availability on the day.
Outside of Service Desk hours there is a Security staff member present in the Library. The Security team are available to assist in an emergency or can answer simple directional enquiries but cannot assist with Library enquiries. If you wish to borrow books please ensure you have a valid student, staff or community card. The security team cannot issue books to you if you don't have a card or if the kiosks do not recognise your card.
During these times patrons can use the out of hours chat service or email the Library with their enquiry. Emails will be responded to during staffed Library hours, which may only be Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm depending on staff availability.
