The staff were incredibly helpful in setting me up with a new account and showing me around. The library is large and airy with a decent selection of books. Some computers and laptops can be used and a printer/scanner/photocopier. I hope to use this service regularly.

Has all the library things: Tables, books, lovely staff, computers, movies, music and different areas for teens, children and those that are studying. Problem being that acoustically this place has a lot of architectural issues. The whole place is brick, with vaulted ceilings and there are no real separations between spaces to help contain noise. One kid having fun at the back of the building translates into voluminous echoes of terodactyl proportions across the entire building. I mean all the crannies and nooks. There are plenty of people saying this place sucks for study and focused work. They are not wrong. Though the building contributes to this far more than the staff. Because of the pterodactyl tremors then it seems everyone else speaks more loudly, people are less concerned to be on their phones and the great sound spiral continues. Needs a refit, rebuild and restoration. Perhaps a seperate section for kids that is enclosed is a big start. Lots of potential to be truly multi functional. At this present stage it is mainly for the kids. Have fun and go to Ivanhoe is you really want to study.
