Network Issues Affecting Library Services

Due to major network problems across Europe, some of our phone lines, email and IT systems are currently unavailable.
As a result, all Solihull libraries, with the exception of The Core Library and Chelmsley Wood Library, are currently unable to access phone lines or IT systems. Library services at these locations will therefore be limited.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience while the issue is resolved.
