Please help us keep the Library safe

Caution - Trip hazardWe understand your frustration with the lack of power points in the Bundoora Library, but  please don’t cause a safety hazard by running laptop power cords across aisles or walkways in the Library.  People trip over them and it’s dangerous.

After the redevelopment project, there will be LOTS more power points in convenient places for laptops. Until then, we would be grateful for your patience and a little extra care.

You can find out more (or ask us questions) about the new Library spaces at www.lib.latrobe.edu.au/bundoora/building/.
