I went into the library today. I was quite impressed to be honest, they seemed to have cleared out a lot of the old, unread books and made the place feel a lot fresher. The tables are better to work at as well, though I was with my family so I haven't put this to the test yet.

It is much brighter in there, and the staff seem a lot happier though they didn't yet have chairs!

I was talking to one lady there and she said some people had been quite negative about the library's refurbishment, which I think is quite a shame because it hasn't REALLY been changed that much, it's just been given a much more modern look and I think it will definitely encourage more people to go in there, which is the main point really.

Someone wrote in the book of comments that is was 'Bland as califlower' [sic] but I think it is fantastic. It's not like the library was particularly fantastic before it was done, it was in desperate need of a revamp.

Anyone else been in?
