Ridgewalk 90 #26 Posted April 19, 2021 I'd like to do personal study at a library today using my own computer. Anyone know if this is possible or is it just to borrow books ? cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

katekate 15 #29 Posted April 21, 2021 If by Gleadless you mean the one at Newfield Green (I'm not sure if theres another in Gleadless) it is now open limited hours - Monday 1-3 and Thurs I think is 10 -12. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Kidorry 188 #30 Posted April 22, 2021 Gleadless library is the one on White lane. The difficulty with opening that one is, it is attached to the doctors and while the covid 19 is ongoing you cannot blame some of the volunteers who run it not wanting to work there. Also the people who are vaccinated for covid19 at the doctors pass through the library. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I can see your point about it being attached to the doctors, good reason for keeping it closed at the minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Minimo 59 #32 Posted April 23, 2021 I am disappointed that there are still such restrictions on using libraries. Only one person allowed in at a time. You have to say what books you want and an assistant will bring them to you, no chance of browsing. Really not worth going yet.

Kidorry 188 #33 Posted April 23, 2021 Have you thought that while you are browsing and touching the books that you could be passing the covid unknowingly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If they sanitise their hands before they enter a shop then the danger is minimised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
