Great library. Not only a really good selection of books, but also a fantastic place if you want to study or work. If you don't need a printer and don't have any calls to take, this library is just as good as many paid co-working spaces. There is always enough space, they have comfortable chairs and despite the fact that there is a children's library on the 1st floor, it is very quiet and a good environment if you need to work on something that requires you to be concentrated. There is free WiFi, but it is not very fast. Good enough for working, but probably not satisfying if you need to download larger files.

As others have pointed out, the only downside is that there are only 3 toilets in the whole building and those toilets are not clean at all.

The best place to be, for me. The Library is open even on Saturdays. It has so many collections, psychology, fantasy, sciences, languages.
There is an amazing little coffeshop upstairs, with very friendly staff and mmmmm! Such coffe and treats!
The library is big, it offers plenty of space for study or socializing. Tge outdoors are green and fun.
A great place where i spend a lot of my time!

Compact & neat surroundings to celebrate the Durga Puja festival & cultural event. Parking can be a problem.

Employees in reception in the middle of the library are talking loudly distracting visitors from studying and reading. Those working in the library should be the most considerate instead of being the loudest. Otherwise, the library would be perfect for many reasons.

What a great place!

I was having difficulty scanning numerous documents into one file - two members of staff spent nearly an hour helping me work out how to do this. So helpful :).

I find I always learn something new each time I visit this library.

Good library for reading or studying. Wifi is decent - can be a bit slow, but doesn't disconnect all the time like my wifi at home! Hopefully the cafe will open soon and there'll be more toilets!
