An excellent library (but pity it doesn't have parking facilities). The childrens area is a good…read moresize and very well stocked, albeit the seating for accompanying parents sometimes isn't adequate and a bench or two more would be helpful. Computers available in this area too and a couple of desks to sit and read at (or sometimes colour in). Upstairs is the main library, with more computers (and there are computers for the adults downstairs too), served well by stairs and a lift. There are toilets on site, but you need to ask for a key. A Local Studies section is a great boon to folk wanting to do some research and the staff are very knowledgeable and approachable in relation to the subject. If you are in a hurry, there is a self service section downstairs where you can scan through your books without waiting for a librarian to do it.

As the years went on the memories change slightly to sitting up on the upper floor supposedly studying books or was it boys! Then things move on until I was taking my own children to the library to choose their books. Staff are really helpful and a couple of them have worked there for years so know everyone by name and exactly what they will be looking for. I suppose as Libraries go it is quite small but big is not always better!

Once you get through the signing in its a bit of a maze to get to the conference rooms on the ground floor. There Isa subsidised canteen-we never tried it but did have a cup of coffee.

Ooh! A new Library! Yay! Geek that I am, I love finding me a lovely new library to lose hours of my…read morelife while I bury my head amongst all those wonderful books. Well, having an hour to waste recently in Larne I thought I'd take myself in here and see what they had on offer. Well, wasn't I impressed! The library is spacious, very well laid out and the staff were helpful and polite. When I called in there was a 'mother & baby' group on where the kids were being sang songs, played guitar and told stories. Awk now isn't that sweet! I was here looking for a photography book and handily the sections were all clearly marked out and easy to find. It wasn't long before I picked my selection and happily made my way toward to check out desk where the librarian talked to me about my choices and recommended another for me to have a look at. I love friendly personal customer service and I certainly got it here. Great library; lots of stock, helpful staff and well laid out.

This is a very convenient and well equipped library in the centre of Carrick…read more I will admit I am not a member and haven't been for a very long time. It was fun when I was younger to go and choose some books to borrow, however nowadays I tend to use my kindle more! My latest trip to the library was last year, to use their printer! I would imagine it is still a good choice for students needing reference books etc. Aside from the books, they have a suite of computers which can be used by the public, and they hold regular events throughout the month, such as junior reading, adult reading, adult colouring classes, silver surfers and DVD rental. The library is open until 8pm on Monday and Wednesday.

Great library, staff are very friendly and some of the most helpful I have dealt with( and I have…read morebeen in a few library's in my time). Great touch is the castle surround for the kids area, linking in with the local heritage. Plenty of computers for research or a game of candy crush. Wide variety of books( well it is a library) and all sections well stocked and labeled to help you find what your looking for. I also love that they have a little gallery and coffee section, great for sitting down and looking through the books you have chosen, or in our case getting the tree year old to pick just 9 from the 50 he had chosen. Just a note in case you haven't encountered it before most of these library's are now self service, with you checking out and returning your own books, works by barcode or some sort of magic that knows what books are in a pile of as many as 8 without even looking at them. Enjoy.
