Hi all
Just a few notes to keep you all in the loop.
Level 11 is closed. All books have been moved to level 7 and the shelving on level 11 is being dismantled. Level 7 is a staff only floor most of the time but even staff will be restricted at some times. In the catalogue all items A-BX show that the borrower needs to “request from temporary storage” this means it is on level 7.

The South side of the building has the new windows installed and they are moving around to the north side. The contractors are trying to complete as much of the outside work as possible whilst the weather is fine. They are working on one level at a time. However they may also take the opportunity to complete work down the building. The contractors have installed swing bridges which are platforms / cages which move up and down the building. It can be a bit off putting to be working at a window and then have contractors move down the building or even worse stop outside your window and work for a couple of hours. All people in the James Hight Building just have to cope with this.

Level 4 is open

The library has many contractors and FM staff still working on levels 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and the roof.
