Sunday opening hours to begin this Sunday

By

 We’re pleased to inform you that the Health Library in the CEC will now open on Sundays from 10am to 4pm as part of a six‑month trial, responding to feedback requesting additional opening hours.

This trial period will allow us to assess demand, usage, and feedback before making any long‑term decisions.
During Sunday opening, the Library will be available for self‑service use only. Entry will be via the wooden door to the Library on your right, through the entrance next to the bridge. Security staff will be present to look after the space and ensure a safe environment.
During Sunday self‑service, you WILL be able to:
  • Use your Keelecard or NHS Library card to swipe access the Library between 10am and 4pm
  • Access the different study spaces and NHS/Keele networked PCs within the Library
  • Issue and return items using the self‑service machine
During Sunday self‑service, you WILL NOT be able to:
  • Access the Library without a working Keelecard or NHS Library card
  • Return or issue laptops
  • Ask questions about Library services, equipment, or your Library account
  • Receive any training from Library staff
  • Access the wider CEC building
If you need a Library card for access you will need to join the Library as a member during our staffed Library hours 8.30am-8pm weekdays or 10am-4pm on Saturdays. We will create a card for you. Your feedback will be very important to us during this trial, so we encourage you to make use of the CEC Health Library on Sundays and share your thoughts on how it works for you.
We hope this additional opening time is useful.
