Very uncharacteristic of a library to be this noisy! With babies crying, kids shouting and tables and chairs being dragged around upstairs. The staff were also very unhelpful and slightly rude.
I am very disappointed with my experience. Quite frankly, this is my last visit to this library.
Pleasant and attentive staff, very good book collection, excellent location; shame that it is to be closed for 6 months until August 2017, only to be reopened with much less floor space and only handful of hours with staff present every day.
This library use to be good. I don't know what happened but I had a really bad experience with the manager there and I felt really intimidated. The manager was rude and really disrespectful making so much noise when all I came for was to study silently.
Great little library. Shame it is not staffed any more
Went here to use my local library to find out it's not staffed and was unable to use it as I can't get in to even obtain a library card so I can get passed the front door nice way of shutting the door to public services.
Good facilities, helpful staff, presently being refurbished
Friendly staff in a very quiet environment. This feels quite dated and reminds me of my university library but in a good way. Shame the selection is quite small so there aren't a lot of books that appeal to me... However, if you do find one that you like have a go at the high tech self-checkout machine!
Decent local library - I actually liked using the self-study room here occasionally, but after its renovation that area has been moved to the main library and feels less quiet.
There's a good selection of children's books.
Note it's now staffed for less hours of the week - you need your library card whitelisted for access during the hours it's not staffed.
