Self-Service Charging Lockers
Description: available in the foyer of the Library. The lockers provide both USB and power connections for charging devices. They are secured with a user-selected four-digit combination. Users must provide their own charging cables. Instructions for locking and unlocking the lockers are posted at the top of each locker tower.
Terms & Conditions: Users are responsible for ensuring they lock their locker securely, select a strong secure 4-digit code, remember the number of the locker they use, and the combination they set. We assume no liability for lost, damage or stolen items caused by using the charging lockers. Lockers are available on a first-come, first-served basis and may only be used to store electronic devices while they are charging. If a user forgets their code they will need to provide proof of University of Galway membership, along with demonstrated knowledge of the items in the locker to the Library Steward on duty at the Entrance Desk.
