We have prepared a useful self-service audio tour of the Library to help you get your bearings. The tour will bring you through the Library building, pointing out the various services and facilities on the way.
You can download the audio tour here to your own MP3 device. Just right-click on each one, and save it to your computer or device:
- Library Audio Tour: Ground Floor
- Library Audio Tour: Floor 1
- Library Audio Tour: Floor 2

If you download the files to your device, just treat them as you would treat a song, i.e. press play, fast forward, etc.
