‘Tis the season to eat chocolate…falala…no? Are we the only ones still thinking Christmas was only last week?

Well, at least we are heading in the right direction for summer but before we get too eggcited it’s time to talk Easter Opening at the University Library.

You will be glad to hear we will only be closed one day over the Easter period so you will have daily access to your library facilities, and resources, and we will be back to 24/7 in the shake of a bunny’s tail!
