We have had this notice of maintenance this Sunday on the VLEbooks platform:

Please be advised that on Sunday 8th October between 4pm & 7pm our technical teams will be completing essential works to VLebooks following the outage and performance issues on 2nd October.

We anticipate that VLebooks should be offline for approximately 1 hour during this period. Please be advised we are continuing to apply access restrictions which may impact a small number of users to refresh before access is granted. We anticipate following the weekend updates and investigation these restrictions will be removed and will confirm when these have fully lifted.
