Great book collection, spacious, nice view. Best one among the ones I visited recently.

This place is just okay, the people working here need to stop acting like there are higher than anyone. There was this old lady working here came up to me so rudely, to say I was being loud, and she told me to book a study room or leave. However I was not even being loud at all, I was only focusing on my work. And also If the study rooms were available don't you think I would have booked one? I've been here many times where groups of people were talking loudly but I don't ever see any of the workers telling them to stop talking or stop being loud. There are more respectful ways to approach and talk to others.You would think being in a literal building surrounded by books and resources on communication, the workers would learn how to properly and respectfully speak with others.

The most beautiful library I've ever been, modern, clean and well structured. It has several floors with computers and books all tidy by section. There is place for children, young people and adults. It has parking and coffee.

It says Two hours parking before 6 pm. but you can park after 6 pm till they're close when they're open till 9 pm on Monday to Thursday. Quiet and big beautiful place. Coffee store is small not easy to find it but looks very nice. Many different tables and places are ready for you anytime.
