Reduced opening hours of Library – Friday 26th January (Edinburgh Campus)
The Cameron Smail Library (Edinburgh Campus) will close at 4:30pm on Friday 26th January and re-open at 10:00am on Saturday 27th January. This short break to our 24/7 opening hours is due to essential electrical works which are part of the ongoing refurbishment works and require a full power shut down.
The Learning Commons will be open on Friday evening as an alternative study space.
The usual 24/7 opening hours will resume from Saturday 27th January.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause and many thanks to everyone for your co-operation and understanding.
