Nice job, loads of space and it's a relaxing place. I have not made use of the cinema yet although I probably will. The Library area is perfectly fine and the cafe is nice and spacious. The food is reasonable, loads of room for improvement. The staff are relaxed and helpful.

They offer membership to, why not, it's all good.

I really love this place. It's very cosy. Good for all ages. You'll find the library, cinema and snack bar. I am here every other day.

Lately one of my favourites. Neat library. Respected collection of books and helpful staff. The events are regular and during COVID, the library was conducting classes for toddlers everyday. That was really entertaining and thoughtful at that challenging time.

I like the sitting area. Beautifully arranged.

Cafe is perfect, and drinks menu is comparable to any good cafe. Plus you get books.

Added is a sitting bar and Picture House.

Nice place for both kids and grown-ups.

We did our daughter's bday celebration here.

Very comfortable library with friendly staffs. Toilet is available. Wi-Fi is available (you need to register as a reader to get username and PIN number before using the internet), water fountain and bike rack is outside. Coffee shop is onsite. Great place. Situated on high street.

Only 3 tables to study, anyway is impossible to study in this so bad called library when the children are up and down the library screaming, crying and running (of course the mothers can not do nothing on respect, irony on). If they have their designated area why they are allowed to get into the study area?? This problem happens in every single council library I’ve visited. It seems that public libraries are built only for children (and their mummies) and supposed to be for EVERYONE

Library is wonderful, picture house great. Cafe staff are lovely BUT the Earl Grey tea we were served was undrinkable. Unclear what was the issue whether the tea bags themselves or the water not being boiling when poured onto the bags. We told the staff and left them to figure out the issue.

The cinema here is absolutely superb.
Comfy, cosy and build into a beautiful library.

The staff on Saturday night were great and helped us choose the best seats in the screen, and signing us up to be members in record time.

I wish i could remember his name but huge shoutout to the young guy with long hair tied back on front desk. You're a legend. x
