When did libraries become daycare centres? It's so loud in this library (and all libraries, I suppose) that you can barely hear yourself think. These kids are rude and irritating, at best. When I was a kid (not that long ago, as I'm only in my 30's), libraries were SILENT, because people were reading. I remember going to the library at school as a child, and they checked that our hands were clean and that we had a clean plastic bag to put our books in. Books were considered important, special. Now, there are children running around, screaming, crying, laughing, EATING, everywhere! It's absolutely nuts. Parents, I get it, your little snowflake is sooo special, but really, have some consideration for the other people in the library. Your snowflake isn't THAT special.
A very nice and well organized library, lots of space and very clean. I usually come here to study for my examinations review. The staff are very helpful and very professional.
Although the library is under renovation now, they are open, and the staff are really friendly and they did everything they could to help me complete my tasks. Big thanks to the library staff and the senior supervisors.
gotta love the peace and quiet when the outside noises get to be too much
There's good selection and variety for the library considering its size, but there isn't enough seating or desks. But as of this review there are plans to add more so this isn't a problem. My problem with this library is that people will have full blown conversations (having nothing to do with studying, reading, etc) at full volume. It's okay to talk, but when you're practically shouting please go outside so people can work. It's not the library's fault, but there seems to be no action taken towards this. It's the norm. It's okay for children to take up all of the floor so you can't walk anywhere. I can't really read here anymore without being distracted.
