In case any university student like me is hoping to go and work in the library and get out of the house, don't bother. Despite saying on the website that they are open as normal (and even having signs outside saying 'Yes we're open! 10 - 4!) they neglect to inform you that the reading room in Central is closed, you can only go in to use the computer, there are only 8 computers open, and you can only use them for an hour maximum! You can't even stand in the library and look at the books if you're not on a computer. I understand that this is not the library staff's fault, I'm sure the precautions being taken are absolutely necessary, and it's not easy for anyone being in Tier 4. But please be up front with the actual current up-to-date information and don't waste people's time, like mine has been wasted today.
