What an amazing addition to the library. Very modern but with the spiral effect it was still in keeping with the original part of the building where I spent hours studying many years ago. more »

You would expect a library situated between an art gallery and a large museum to have a historic feel about it and Central libraru does not dissappoint more »

I work here. I know I'm staff but it's a truly beautiful place. We do our best to give you all the service you would expect from a library like this. The picton reading room and Hornby library and oak rooms are a must we also have 58 computers on floor 1 but please bare in mind that these are very busy during the holidays. We also have some great shows for kids during the holidays so please ask at reception.

Impressive place, really good equips, not the most new books. Policy os silence si rubbish. If you just want to spend some time surrounded by old books and maybe enjoy a chat with the person by you, or maybe you want an excuse to flirt, this is you library. Definitely not for students

Such a wonderful library, so sleek and modern but with a beautiful outside aesthetic. Not to mention the smell inside of the books is wonderful, I could spend hours in here and I plan on it.
