The physical library space in the chapel building is designed so that you can use it on a self-service basis but library staff are available should you need help either online or in person, Mon-Fri. If you are making a special journey to the library and know you will need help or advice it is recommended to contact us in advance to ensure staff are on hand. We welcome your enquiries.
