Customers will once again be able to borrow books from the Granville Street area of the library, with research visits to Special Collections, Archives, General Services and the Business and Intellectual Property (IP) Centre available through free, pre-booked appointments. PC access and study space will also be available to book in advance, free of charge. The new booking system forms part of a range of hygiene measures introduced by Glasgow Life, which include one-way systems, book quarantine and reduced visitor numbers.
