National Library of Scotland buildings to remain closed between Christmas and New Year

From the National Library of Scotland (www.nls.uk), via Twitter (@natlibscot):

We've taken the decision to close all our buildings on Weds 29, Thurs 30 and Fri 31 December. Our online enquiry service, including Chat, will be available on those dates between 10am and 4pm > https://auth.nls.uk/contact/ask-a-question/

We will be closed from 24 December to 4 January inclusive.

I asked the National Library if this additional closure between Christmas and the New Year was due to concerns on Covid, and received the following response:

Hi - we're closing to support service planning and resilience.

(With thanks to the NLS)
