From Monday 7 April until June, building works will be carried out in the staff offices in T.S. Eliot House (see building map), which will cause some disruption to members in that specific area. The noisiest works will take place outside of Library opening hours but there will be some disruption on and around the 2nd floor of T.S. Eliot House, during April and parts of May, and on the Mezzanine floor in May and June. 

Additionally, there will be some noise disruption to a small area of the back basement in late April for around one week as part of the creation of storage area for the Library’s archive and rare books. 

We will also be commencing the move of some of our periodical and society titles from the basement to our off-site store, which will impact members using the basement study spaces and collections. The first move will start from Monday 7 April and last approximately three weeks, followed by a further four-week period starting in mid-May, and daily book moves taking place until the end of July.

We always aim to keep disruption caused by necessary works to a minimum and we will keep members updated about which areas will be impacted through signage in the building. Please speak to staff in the Issue Hall if you need help finding a study space.
