Service Update: Book Covers
We are pleased to announce that supply of book cover images to our catalogue has been restored. 
Over the coming days our developers will be working with our provider to update the 1.9 million catalogue records we hold. While this update is ongoing, customers should expect to encounter records with and without images, and may encounter delays when loading pages with a substantial number of records presented e.g. Loan History. 
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your patience while we worked to resolve this issue.
