The Doriot Library building (CII) will soon be undergoing major renovations in order to improve sanitary facilities and modernize the infrastructure.

Work will proceed in stages, with the first phase consisting of moving the book and journal collections to make room for new facilities.

Over the next four weeks, maintenance staff will be moving cartloads of library materials on the two main library floors, so we apologize for the noise and disruption.

Should you need help finding any items during the move, please do not hesitate to ask the library staff.
