Adelaide City Council Library

Libraries have come a long way! This is a beautiful facility. It's a bit of a pokey entrance (the main entrance) but that small fact pales when you enter the library. Temperature in there is pleasant - cool enough, but doesn't leave you shivering and wishing you'd brought a jumper. There are loads of reading nooks and chairs, ample computers, and places for kids to sit and read too (with bright floor pillows). It's really modern, and there are staff on hand if you don't know how to do something for example, self check out, or find the holds section. Lighting is great. sections are marked clearly enough, and there is a good foreign language section. I really enjoyed both experiences here and will definitely return.
