Market Harborough Library

The refurbishment of the library has turned it into an oasis of learning and reading. The surroundings now reflect the care, attention and intelligence of the staff in ordering, rotating and processing requests. The range of books for a small library is excellent, and you can really see an intelligent relationship between the books being used and read and the new rotations coming through. The selection for children is varied and challenging - with a great selection for older and teen readers (often sadly missing). The interactive floor is a gift too. Overall the library is superlative and I think Harborough would be a poorer place without this little gem.

Superb modern library in a delightful historical building. What this library demonstrates more than anything is that in a recession you can have "more for less". Why? They have incorporated the museum and library in one place, saving the museum, and moved it up a floor to make the best use of the enormous Symingtons building, allowing the Council to get some income from the ground floor retail units. Wish other public sector organisations had been as innovative during the economic slowdown.

Love this fantastic library! It has a wonderful, fascinating museum attached with toys and interactive activities for the kids. Staff very helpful and range of books great, in particular for children.

Helpful staff, good selection of books for kids, I love the audio books selection for myself.
Nice cafe on ground floor and overall pleasant experience every time.

I believe this is one of Market Harborough's well loved and treasured learning and resource centre. The selection of books is very well thought out and the layout and ambience- alongside the Harborough museum is a must visit for all ages. A calming place-with it's peace and quiet respected by all,on everyone of my visits so far....if you haven't been for some time or are thinking of going....it will be time very well spent.

Brilliant museum, FREE ENTRY too. Really enjoyed seeing the halloton hoard along with items from market harboroughs history and other fascinating curiousities from history!
