I have spoken with Cleaning Services regarding the number of tea towels that are available in the Central Library staff room as there has been some concern that there Health and Safety issues with there not being enough tea towels available now that the Tea Ladies have left and everybody has to wash and dry their own dishes.
Cleaning Services have confirmed that the tea towels get replaced once a week on a Monday morning.
I have asked Cleaning Services to supply 20 tea towels on a Monday morning, which provides for 4 a day which should be sufficient.
Cleaning Services will try to order extra tea towels for Monday 13th December, but due to the short notice it is more likely that this will take effect from Monday 20th December.

Can we have some sort of hamper to put used ones out of circulation please? Complete confusion at present, as used tea and hand towels accumulate on benches and towel rails by the end of the week.
Anyway it is not just a tea towel problem. Cups were being washed yesterday in brown tepid water with the brush with no sign of a soap bubble! Roll on Norovirus or hepatitis.
