2. Law Library Renovations

The Law Library will be undergoing some renovations in the foyer area over the next few weeks, starting on Monday November 25 and lasting for not more than 2 or 3 weeks. The week of Nov 25 should not involve much noise or disruption, but in the following week there will be some demolition and removal of the furniture (information/loans desk and returns bench) and some drilling to the floor to install cabling. At the end, the result will be an enhanced Information point and reserve area. This is part of an upgrade to service point areas at Hargrave-Andrew, Peninsula and Law Libraries.

There are 3 Summer units running in Nov/Dec, so we will have the reserve books for those units readily available next to the Holds shelves, and there will be no disruption to borrowing.
