Libraries: Latest updates

Library Service update: January to April 2025

The Libraries & Archives Service is updating its online pages and loans service. Find out how this will affect you.

Last updated: 15 January 2025

Our libraries are open to provide:

  • Browsing
  • Answering enquiries
  • Study spaces
  • Access to computers, which can now be booked in advance.

We have heightened hygiene measures in place to ensure everyone can safely enjoy all that our libraries and local studies and archives have to offer.

It is no longer a legal requirement to wear a face covering in any setting, but it is still encouraged you continue to wear one in crowded and enclosed spaces (unless exempt) where you may come into contact with other people you do not normally meet.
