Wheatley Lane gets Self Service install

Wheatley Lane library has now had a Self Service unit installed with a view to extending the opening hours, and the volunteers have been trained. The volunteers were very enthusiastic and the rotas for the next 5 weeks have been allocated. The Library will now open on Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings.

Barnoldswick goes 'Live'

Barnoldswick Library went 'live' yesterday with self service and the lauch went very well with staff helping a large proportion of customers with using the machines.

Both units were constantly in use

There were some quite vocal representations from the public but to my surprise the staff still managed to get these users to 'try' self service, well done everyone at Barnoldswick.

Barnoldswick now complete and ready for launch

It was a frantic day on Friday with all trades coming and going but all works have been completed on time.

All equipment has been tested and working.

Barnoldswick progressing well

After his initial shock of discovering he was expected to install the self service furniture, the 3M engineer, with the assistance of Hyde flooring lifted the units into place.  Fortunately, the Zika fitters were on site and helped lift the bespoke top on to the self service furniture.

Put this puzzle together!

We got there in the end!

The new help desk went in on Thursday also, the location had to be altered slightly due to the power and data surfacing through the concrete floor at a specific point.
