As part of our ongoing work to improve accessibility for all Library users, a major upgrade of our three main lifts began on Monday 14 July 2025, starting with the right‑hand lift. This long‑term project is expected to run until May 2027.
These essential upgrades will enhance accessibility, safety and reliability across the building, supporting our commitment to creating an inclusive and easy‑to‑navigate Library environment for everyone.
Upgrade work to the middle lift has now been completed. This means that both the middle and right-hand lift are now upgraded and fully operational.
The left-hand lift will now be out of service for several months as work begins on its upgrade.
Please do not hesitate to speak to any member of the Library team if you have any questions or need support navigating the building. Thank you for your patience and cooperation while we improve your library.
