I don't have time to go to the library very often but every time I do I always wish I went more. I…read morego to the local library in Armthorpe because it's handy and easy to get to, just outside of the main village centre. The staff are really friendly usually, and especially when you first start going it can be a bit confusing (well it was for me anyway!) so its good to be able to ask for help and advice without feeling like a total twit. I've managed to hire out quite a lot of books that I thought would have been hard to get hold of which has saved me a fortune and they've got thousands of books, all free! They also have reference books if you're doing research, and I think they do story sessions for little kids although I tend not to hang around those :) If you haven't been to a library in a while, give it a go, it's a free day out and you're bound to find something to take your fancy.

The staff are always courteous and helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them.

This is Sheffields main library, Its entrance doesn't do it justice as the entrance hall is grand…read morebut could do with some tender loving care. The main library is large and split into sections such as media is in a seperate room just off the main area. There is plenty of choice, with new best sellers being available for one week loan, with most books being three weeks. If its a certain book you are after you can register online and order the book in for collection and also online you can renew. The staff are friendly and helpful too. It does need a little bit of tlc as the interior is a bit dated but it kinda adds to the charm of the place. Also if have time go upstairs to the art gallery asits worth a ponder too.

Tickhill library is good if your looking for a quick book to take with you on holiday and you're…read morenot particularly bothered what it is. However, i wouldnt advice going in if your looking for something specific and particularly modern. I went in recently for 'The Hunger Games' for a neighbour of mine and they didnt have it. I would say the library caters mostly for the elderly members of Tickhill, so if you are a younger member of society and have an interest in spiritual or ancient historical books id stick to amazon.com.
