Salisbury Library

Yes it's a good library, free WiFi which is fast(ish) a good selection of dvds. It could do with a few more power sockets to plug in laptops - there are some upstairs but everyone has to cluster round the sockets in one part of the library. It would be nice to be able to spread out a bit, then we could fart without worrying about the people around us.

Closest toilets are in the market square and cost 20p which to me is a pretty big inconvience. If you want to be there for any reasonable amount of time and are fairly well hydrated or drink a lot of coffee, every few hours you have to pack everything up, walk to the market square, pay 20p, walk back, find a new workspace and set up again. Additionally half of the days the market square toilet closes 2.5 hours before the library does. Maybe i'm asking for too much but I thought something like a toilet in a decent sized public library was pretty standard. If you're just in it for a quiet place to work with wifi maybe a coffee shop is more convienent.

The library is nice and the wifi is good so it gets an additional star for that, but for me it doesn't suit my needs as well as other places for a quiet workspace.

Excellent staff, helpful as always. Support your library, don't let the buggers close it.

Good choice of books and you can read the papers upstairs.

No toilets, I think this ridiculous for a public library with a children's area. Not only do you have to trek elsewhere for use of the toilet but you'll have to take your kids, desperate for loo, down into cold, dark and frankly gross market Square toilets where you'll have to pay for the pleasure of holding them above the questionable seat before trudging back up the steps and across the road only to find there is no longer a space to sit and read with them.

Very helpful Librarians, excellent range of books, together with book ordering service.
Also national & local papers available to read.

PickUp is our go to place in Salisbury for coffee and pastries.
Warm welcome and helpful staff.

Really helpful staff. Collected our summer reading challenge today. Had a problem with one of our library cards which was sorted very quickly.
