I love the LM, there is a range of things to do: reading, kids activities, internet access, and the museum. It is a nice play to go on the weekend with the kids and learn and have fun. Borrowing at the library is good, I especially like how you can re-borrow your book on the internet without having to come in and physically renew it. I wish there was a greater range of books available to borrow.

I love the old building and it's a treat when you get to be in cinema 1, the cinemas and sound are all good. However I find that there isn't enough staff around after 9pm when the last sessions start, when you come out of the cinema there is absolutely nobody there and it is a bit unnerving. The candy bar is also overpriced.
The guys at The Haus of Meat are fantastic. We recently ordered all our meat for a party from them and they were unbeatable with service. We had requested a pig on the spit and they catered for our needs and are really friendly with their customers. We always shop at the Haus of Meat, because they are a great local business. Their meat is a quality standard and they have a huge variety with cheap prices on different types of meat, it gets us to try new things.
They are very friendly at the Haus of Chicken in Albury and really value their customers. They will give you advice on how to cook the chicken and explain things if you ask for a little help. The food is tasy as well, especially the whole cooked chicken.

This bakery is GREAT. The pies and desserts are fantastic. They also have a sandwich bar which is separate that do tasty rolls. My last experience there was buying a roll for lunch and I was served quickly and efficiently, however my server seemed to be in a bit of a rush and was a little rude I felt, however I would go back there, because the food is so nice, and it's a local business.

I have been to Zen before and have enjoyed it, I have had haircuts and massages there. I phoned up and wanted a hair appointment that day or the next and they said I could come down right then and there if i was free, which i was, so I got my appointment straight away. I was ushered right in and had my hair washed and cut etc. The service was great, you can have any free beverage off their list if you want, they care about their customers. My hairdresser gave me some good tips for my hair-type: I shouldn't get short layers because my hair is too thin, so keep it all the same length etc. The only thing I can complain about is the price, I think it is a little overpriced for just a simple haircut, but I go back to Zen because I feel welcome there.
