Stage one complete - weekend disruption likely!

The first stage of the Library refurbishment project is about to be completed, and the contractors will be handing over the refurbished first floor to Library staff over the weekend 4-5th September. Furniture, equipment, and PCs will be moved from the ground floor to the first floor, and members of library staff will be returning to work on Monday morning to new desks! By then, the entire ground floor will be handed over to the contractors.

You will be able to visit the newly refurbished first floor (with its new toilets!) from Monday 13th September. The printed journals and Learning Development Centre will be available shortly after that date.

Due to the relocation work this weekend there will be disruption to our enquiry services, in particular our e-mail services (library@aston.ac.uk and lis-enquiries@aston.ac.uk), both today (Friday 3rd September) and Monday (6th September). We hope to minimise the delay, but please be patient when waiting for replies to your messages.

This also means that from today (Friday 3rd September), all service counter and face-to-face enquiry services will be delivered in the first instance from the temporary entrance.

This is an exciting milestone in the refurbishment project - thank you for bearing with us during the inevitable inconvenience this causes.
