Your Library team has been busy during the summer months making changes that will enhance your library experience.

We have:
1.  Changed the food policy. You can now eat cold food or snacks anywhere in the library. Please note: to keep the library a clean and pleasant place to study you cannot bring in any hot or greasy food from fast food outlets or have food delivered to the building.
2.  Added extra microwaves in the Archibald Hay Mess café for those of you who bring in your homemade food. Please note: any heated food can only be consumed in the café area, it must not be taken into the library space.
3.  Added more soft seating in the café area.
4.  Added bring your own device spaces in the Group Zone.
5.  Moved the Library Helpdesk alongside the Reception desk so there will always be someone on hand to help or signpost you to the most suitable service.
6.  Added laptop docking stations across all three zones.
7.  Increased laptop loans from three days to seven.
8.  Revamped the Family Study Space and moved it to room DC016.

Please let us know what you think of the changes or send us your ideas for further improvements to dhlhelp@medway.ac.uk.
