It is a very nice library, but, it is a shame for a library to be closed at 06 or 09:00 PM. I am writing and rating not only this library but all of the ones in Melbourne. Most people work in weekdays and leave work after 4 or 5 PM, so when they arrive at the library, they have very little time to spend there. I think all libraries must be open until 11 PM. Thinking about library staff, they can be paid for overtime when they work after 07 to 11 PM in the evenings. To pay their overtime, membership payments could be taken from people who use libraries after 07 PM.

In some countries, libraries are open 24/7!

And please do not forget;

"Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation."
