I used to love this library as a teenager. But having visited today I have some feedback. I found it a cold, hard and unfriendly environment that does nothing to encourage reading. There are no places to sit and read comfortably in the entire library. I counted 4 armchairs, and these were in walkways etc so not in a comfortable tucked away reading nook. Most of the library is taken up by desks and desk chairs and computer stations. Probably great if you're studying quietly but to sit and read is very uncomfortable. Would it kill the council to add a couch here or there!? Felt sterile like a hospital.
