Royal Museums Greenwich
Caird Library temporary closure due to Olympics
The Caird Library will close to all visitors from Monday 2 July until Tuesday 4 September 2012 inclusive for the preparation and holding of the Olympics and Paralympics in Greenwich Park.
During this period there will be no access to the Library as the reading room will be in use by LOCOG (London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games). Written and telephone enquiries and the remote reprographics service will also be unavailable from this date.
The last order date for the consultation of offsite items is 12.30 on Thursday 21 June, for consultation from Tuesday 26 June. The last day that the Library will be open is Saturday 30 June.
The Caird Library will reopen to the public at 10.00 on Wednesday 5 September 2012. Written and telephone enquiries and the remote reprographics service will also resume from this time. For full opening times from 5 September, see http://www.rmg.co.uk/researchers/library/visiting/
We apologise for the inconvenience caused to our users. The Archive & Library staff will be using the closure period to rehouse offsite collections to bring them onsite, and to reorganise stores to make future retrievals more efficient.
The National Maritime Museum galleries will be open throughout the Games, with some changes to opening hours starting from 26 April. For further information see http://www.rmg.co.uk/visit/latest-info/london-2012-olympic-games. Our special exhibition, Royal River, will also be open throughout.
