Demolition is still the order of the day as much of the old building must give way before the bracing and ARC can be fitted. This can create a great deal of noise in certain parts of the library. Visit the map for the current “quiet zones”. Remember that much of the library is maintained as a fully functioning wireless network and you can use your laptop or wireless device for access almost anywhere inside the building. See help and infomation for the wireless network.
