As work progresses in Central Library, ready for the arrival of the Education Library in late 2017, it is also worth noting the proposed transformation of the Education Library into a store.

Some ceramics will move from Macmillan Brown Library into Education early this year.  This will move them out of an area which was not suitable for their long-term  preservation.  Once the Education Library ceases to need to support the Dovedale campus, the building will be used as a store for other materials.

The Library continues to look at improving its storage facilities.  This is one small step, which creates some breathing space and a chance to reassess the current moratorium on donations.
