Physical access for users with disabilities

The Bill Bryson Library and Queen's Campus Library have card-operated turnstile entrances. Users who regularly need to bypass the turnstiles should contact the Library's Disability Co-ordinator so that their campus card can be enabled to use the entrance gate instead. Other users unable to operate the turnstile should make themselves known to staff at the Enquiry window in the Bill Bryson Library and at the desk at the entrance to Queen's Campus Library.
