The Curve Slough

Library with three floors, not a lot of books but have ample study space, though could be full at times.

I can't believe it, I can't believe it, I can't believe it... It definitely needs a lot more silence. I think the session plan of this library should be changed. Those who want to talk or come with their friends should sit on the bottom floor. Upper floors should be used alone or by people who will not make noise. In addition, sound insulation should be made between floors. The incredible midfield spreads all the sound to every floor of the massive building. It's hard to focus on your lecture here. Or is there no respect for the voice in this country and I don't know? Children use this place as like cafe.Talk talk talk...

Still dislike this library 😒. Sing and song time not really great
The staff member tried and was enthusiastic but the set up was weird.no chairs and mandatory sitting on the floor 😳. Difficult for children when grown-up in the way. Didn't feel inclusive or welcoming..

Was in the Curve today in the silent study area and the employees chose 11 am in the morning to dissemble chairs desks and hubs. In addition, they also made the decision to take loud phone calls in the middle of the library. Normally the area is conducive to studying but I didn't understand why they could not do this in the times that the library is closed (after 5PM).

Plenty of reading and study spaces
Quiet floor is not really quiet due to noise from downstairs

Libraries and places of worship are the best places (&coffee shops lol)

I really want to like this place because I really believe in the core idea behind libraries, but the Curve just tries to be several things at once and fails at all of them. As a library it's let down by a lack of books- the selection is really very small and if you request one in from another library you have to pay a transfer fee. As a study space it's awful; staff do nothing about noisy people chatting throughout. As a building, the design sucks; far too much space taken up with staircases and the museum pods which no one uses. Quiet study pods would have been a better.

A great library with lots of space and friendly librarians, as well as continuously bringing in new books. I'm so glad that Slough has this resource.
