My safe place! Great library with a river view, a great and updated selection of books. The staff members are all so welcoming. My favorite spots have to be the area with the bean bag chairs (non-fiction isle I think) on level 1, the corner desk on the ground floor where I could just sit, do my work while enjoying the view and the tables right next to the window on level 2 since I can enjoy being alone there. Overall just the best place to be when the noise of the CBD gets too overwhelming.

Brisbane Square is probably my favourite public library in all of Queensland. It has 4 floors and lots of seating for both people working and people reading. I love watching the buses cross the Victoria Bridge as I work on my computer for school. The aircon is also really powerful and was great after walking under the Riverside Expressway for half an hour.

As far as amenities go for a common library the Brisbane Square Library is one that's hard to beat, mostly due to the architectural design and the availability of windows for the study area. The entire library has a bright open plan feel without too many shelves cluttering the space. Die-hards may disagree and say there'snot enough books for such a large library but Ithink it evokes a very welcoming ambience. Wisely, the study chairs located on the second floor hug the perimeter of the floor space. The windows are artfully arranged in angular geometric patterns which afford every third seat a view of the Brisbane River. Not everyone gets a window seat however that is not always a requirement. Obviously some students don't want the added distraction of the sunny outdoors when they have serious study to attend to. For my tastes and purposes this is a building that I feel most comfortable in, which is more than I can say about 99% of the constrictions in the rest of the city.

We love visiting this library with its multi-level, city views and spacious design. There are pop up exhibitions, writer’s readings, book launches, STEM activities, workshops and so much more on offer. The children’s section is so inviting and there are games on offer for the children. The staff are so helpful and approachable. Borrowing and returns are also fully automated now so you can self-serve through the process. If you haven’t downloaded the Library app, I highly recommend it as you can place books on hold as well renew them through the app. It makes the entire process so convenient.

We took the kids for a visit today, as an adventure. We took the elevator up to the level where the kids area was, a little more signage after exiting the lift to direct would be awesome! The kids area itself is a decent size but mainly aimed at older children. The projector for the floor wasn’t working and neither was one of the computers.
Lots of books to choose from but it seemed most of the English board books were mixed with the international ones so it made it a little tricky for my kiddos.
Huge variety of books and places to sit and read. But maybe some more things for the younger kids are needed :)

AWESOME library !
Even "travelers" can make a library card to borrow some books ♡
There are various comic books.
Lots of magazines and children's books.
Clean tap water.
Cozy sofa ♡
Visitors who don't have a library card can use study room. (But, in advance, you need to write your name on the time table set in front of study rooms.)
There are free English conversation events twice a week.

Many books and activities. They have section for great books to be borrowed for 7 days only. Not recommend to travel to here by car as you will not have public parking. I parked in casino nearby which costed $50 for 40 minutes.

Fantastic!
Modern, functional, accessible, well located!
A inspiring place to concentrate on what you need to do.

Besides individual tables, you can book rooms for a group work, or a phone call for example.

You Will have a confortable nice view of the Brisbane River and the Cassino.

The team is super friendly and always ready to help.

I love to go work from there!
