The Southfields library is often referred to as the pork pie library by people on the Saffron…read moreestate due to its resemblence to two pork pies stacked on top of each other. It's literally the second exit off the roundabout at the top end of Saffron Lane and not difficult to miss. The library itself has a very warm and cosy feel and has all sorts of fiction and non-fiction availble. It's a nice place to also go and get some work done in and you can use the computers for a small price. The back of the library also has a children's area which is beautifully laid out and very attractive. The library also has a team of amazing staff who will bend over backwards to help you out. I once was late returning a book due to a family funeral and they were very understanding of my plight and wavered the fee. It's definately a good idea to take advantage of the different after school or holiday sessions they run for children as well as they're rather educational and I have often volunteered for events like a special Harry Potter themed day.

This library has successfully integrated itself inside the new shopping complex during town centre improvements. This branch library is now housed within the shopping centre at Chelmsley Wood, on the second floor, which means it is highly visible, accessible and used; just as a library should be. There is a homework club every Thursday from 4pm onwards and a storytime for the under 5s on a Friday morning. There are two late evenings a week until 7pm (Monday and Thursday.) Their stock also includes a good selection of CDs, DVDs and talking books. Sadly though the council have also insisted on self service kiosks here and completely missed the point again that libraries need to be staffed by humans and not machines.

The entrance usually showcases the work of local society or group, which proves an interesting distraction as you enter up the small flight of steps. The library itself is spacious and full of light, with the books well ordered into distinct categories, with large sections of fiction and non-fiction factual texts. There is a copious library of audio-books and DVDs that can also be borrowed too. The internet access proves consistently popular, as do the daily newspapers and photocopying facilities. The library's upper section is totally devoted to children's books, which can be accessed by stairs or a glass lift. All in all, a great local resource.

They also offer rental of some cd's and dvd's too which is a great addtion. If your into books or need to do research this is the place for you!
