Spacefinder
Demand for spaces in libraries is very high and slots become fully booked very quickly.
To assist readers in finding and booking available spaces, a new Spacefinder tool has been launched.
New slots are released 7 days in advance between 7:30-9:30 each morning, and additional slots are released each day due to cancellations and same day booking can be made before 8am.
