Access Control at the Health Library

In order to enhance security at the Health Library in the light of current changes on the hospital site, we will be implementing access control from 5:30 p.m. to closing time, and at weekends.
This will start at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday 15th March.
From this time you will need either:
  • a current valid Keele card, or:
  • an NHS Library membership card with the number starting 5081
The card should be presented to the proximity reader inside the north lobby of the CEC outside the Library’s secondary entrance. This will unlock the Library door. Please ensure that it locks securely behind you.
Access control will operate between the following hours:
Mon – Thu    5:30 p.m. – 9:45 p.m.
Fri               5:30 p.m. – 7:45 p.m.
Sat              10:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m.
Sun             1:00 p.m. – 5 p.m.
If you do not have your Keele Card or NHS library membership card on you, please call the Library Desk on 01782 679500, and we will let you in.
I apologise for the short notice, but we had been advised to implement these new arrangements as soon as possible.

Jonathan Hutchins, Health Library Manager
