Only members of the University of Cambridge and Academic staff and research students from other universities can use it. Undergraduate and taught postgraduate students from other UK universities can apply to access the Library for reference during Cambridge vacations. Even if you can't get in, it is worth having a wonder round the site to be impressed by the sheer size of it. And why not keep walking and have a look around the Sidgwick site of the University of Cambridge - home to the Arts Faculties of the University.

I also order a lot of items online and if the Chelmsford library does not have a copy of an item then one is sent from another library in Essex at no charge - brilliant. They did have a coffee shop which I thought was a good idea but it has closed - I guess it did not do enough business.

The library has a…read morebroad range of books available in when not in stock there is a free reservation service where a book can be sent from another library in Essex for free to a library of your choice. I have often used this service and the books are shipped very quickly. The library has a large number of computers available for the public to use, but unfortunately you can only use them for up to an hour each day. I recommend booking these in advance as the bookings fill up a few days in advance. The cd selection is very broad and at small cost they can be borrowed for up to three weeks. Dvds are also much cheaper to borrow here than at other dvd borrowing stores.

Use the demonstration computers in the nearby Apple shop for internet and email. 2. Waterstones and Borders are good for reading books and snoozing. Unfortunately you'll get arrested if you try to borrow a book. 3. WH Smiths is good for reading newspapers, unfortunately they don't give you chairs and tables to read them in peace. Actually, if you're cheeky you can go to the Costa Coffee place upstairs and read there. The new library should open in Lion Yard next year. The reason for the delay? Apparently the developers are arguing with the council over whether it should be called 'Cambridge Central Library' or 'Cambridge Library Central.' I sh t you not.

I only live around the corner from this Camden library branch, which is Holly Lodge.

She didn't realise that the man she was making fun of in front of me was actually my brother. He was a regular user of the library and usually went in once a week with a carer. I happened to be in with him on this day and was completely appalled. I made a complaint to the district manager but was ignored. I made a public complaint on their Facebook page and it was just deleted. I'm hoping this acts as a warning to others who use their services. This woman should be fired and has no business working in a public library.

This is, in my opinion, a fantastic library!…read more Essex offers a service where you can reserve pretty much any book online to pick up at your local library.what better library to pick up at than this one? Set on 2 floors this library is so well equipped. Sensibly, the large childrens section is downstairs, with a great selection of books and a lovely area of book boxes for toddlers to leaf through. Adults books are mostly upstairs and there are stairs and a lift to get you there. It is possible to book computer slots for internet access and hire videos, cd's, dvd's books on tape etc. Staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful which is great, The Library also opperates a self service desk so that you can check in and out yourself to save queuing up! All in all, well worth a visit i could easily while away a few hours here!
