Very beautiful place. The staff are very welcoming and available
Magnificent establishment. Bringing together a museum and a library is a real success.
A space for each distinct section
A true book and technology paradise with a little robot to guide you, a playful space for children, no need to queue to borrow or make a computer book available to everyone
A great place for all ages.
12.20 pm Wednesday 2nd January. Too bad to find users en masse in front of closed doors. Well updating the schedules would be useful for us
This place of learning becomes a living and invigorating space of the city of Carpentras and its population of all edges. Magnificent success of openness and accessibility towards a historical or contemporary knowledge. Animations of various discoveries are proposed. And that's just beginning ...
Superb place decorated with multiple works of art, very welcoming staff and thousands of books available. The dream what.
A magnificent place, this former Dieu hospital rehabilitated as a museum library, what a good idea and what a success. This place mixes life and culture and the building is splendid.
It is a beautiful place, the library is impressive with lots of activities
Beautiful building, beautiful library, a huge stock and even a space dedicated to video games with flat screens and comfortable sofas. Now, 15 for registration fees requested in a dry tone by the librarian for those not residing in Carpentras, accompanied by proof of address, just to be able to take advantage of the internet connection. I thought it was a bad joke, but unfortunately not.
Magnificent !!!! warm welcome and very wide choice of books !!!!
Light is in life, let the Inguimbertine library shine
An exceptional setting and a successful layout. We look forward to the tea room catering area
A home not enough organize for my taste even see a dry tone sometimes aggressive.
On the other hand the multimedia space is the strong point, rarely full and quite silent.
New super nice and pleasant library. When you have known the building before you can see the extent of the work and it is very successful, well done.
Thank you, Mr. Delmas, for this beautiful place. An impressive fund, a staff available and listening: do not change anything! Registered in your home since the opening, I recently came with my 5 year old grandson, on vacation at my home: he was stuck in front of the showcase of musical instruments!
Do not change anything, this media library is a magical place!
Super airy place with friendly and helpful reception agents.
