The full range of services are available during staffed hours including book borrowing, study spaces and ICT facilities will be available during My Open Library hours. Library users will have access to the library at times that suit them best and the library is strengthened as a focal point for community engagement.

Access control equipment; building automation equipment to integrate with existing hardware and fittings; monitoring and management software; CCTV equipment; staff training; maintenance of all hardware and software provided;
