Staff Levels

Staff Levels

  • The Library has a staff of two.
  • The Librarian, Mr Robert Carter works full-time.
  • The Library Assistant, Mrs Jane Hampshire, works full-time during Full Term hours but only part-time during vacation hours.
  • This means that:
    • complete full term hours now operate - to 5.45 p.m. Monday to Friday and a full service at lunchtime;
    • there will still be periods during the vacations when the library will be closed or unstaffed as the new assistant's hours don't permit full coverage (see below);
    • you will still need to check this page for details of library closures during the vacations.
