Inside i am always suprised as to just how quiet it is. But due to its vast size im sure any sounds just dissipate. Some of the lighting if i remember correctly is very orangy, weird becasue it doesnt actually affect your reading. They also offer computers which you can use for a small aount of money. 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!

This place has definitely gone down hill! Or maybe I have just got older…read more.. I practically lived in here when I did my degree 02 - 05. Am now doing an Open University course, an am able to use the facilities of the library. The facilities are still the same, and they have an extensive range of books, but they could do with more people on "patrol". It was definitely quieter in my day! Wanting a bit of quiet space for some study, I went to the "quiet area, single study only". Most people were hanging round in groups chatting. Heard some very loud conversations from the other end of the room about what people had been up to the night before. When I was there before, there were a lot of staff that would have had words for people being that noisy, but nothing happened. I am but one person, I was not about to challenge groups of 6 + gobby students! Plus, it was freezing! Yes I know it is cold at the moment, but i had my snowboarding base layers on under my jeans, 2 jumpers and a hoody, but I still had to keep my coat on in there it was that cold. Did my studying today in the pub as it was quieter than the library!

They have an internet service there too so you can use the internet to check email and do research in a quiet environment, I found this really helpful when our internet connection at home was playing up for a few days while we waited for the engineer to come out. It stocks books as well as CDs and DVDs and talking books. It's a really peaceful place to do a bit of reading too.

In addition the staff are polite and helpfull is you need any assistance. The library has very good opening hours, staying open til 19.00 most week days.

However if you're just looking for what ever takes your fancy, then it's a great place to go. It is nice and quiet plus they have some computers there, so it's an excellent place to work or study and you can pop to the Morrison's for some lunch. The staff are nice and friendly too. They have a photocopier there and they can reserve and order in books (for a small fee). It also a nice place to take your children and get them into reading.

Westcroft library used to be me and my sisters favourite place to go and visit when we were…read moreyounger, yes it is quite strange that this was our optional place to go but we really did love it. We would sit in there practically for hours on end reading books, we practically begged our mum to go down there with us so she could let us join the library, she eventually agreed. We would usually get the maximum amount of books out that we were allowed and weirdly enough read them all before the week was up. They have a little table where we would occasionally sit and do our home work. You could loan books, magazines, baby toys and video tapes (probably DVD's now as well). I remember the staff always being really friendly.

Every town has a library and Solihull Central Library is the flagship for the borough. Over the…read moreyears the library has expanded in a variety of ways; they even have a theatre! They have information on events (mostly local), council services, education and work, business information and various local and family history. Unlike many other libraries that are local to Solihull, here they have a large amount of computers and a host of books on different subjects. There is pretty much a book for any subject and if there isn't then it's pretty easy to find out where to get the information you want. You can also rent DVDs and CDs. Librarians can be a bit boring and come across negatively and here some of them are no different. However, some of them are very friendly. They are all very helpful though and knowledgeable on everything within the building. I've been to the library theatre a few times and have really enjoyed the shows put on here. Before a show, or in general, I like to go to their cafe where they have some hot and cold snacks. The food can be eaten in or taken away. As the library is in a courtyard you can also enjoy the lovely water feature outside. This is definitely one of the best libraries I've been to in Birmingham.

With most of the usual library trappings (you know books, CDs, DVDs, internet) and some extras thrown in. Their local and family history department deserves special merit. They have an excellent children's library. Upstairs is also a public gallery with collections changing on a regular basis. Sadly, Solihull Library isn't what it used to be. They still have a fairly good stock of books and some CDs but the music library isn't what it used to be. There are plenty of DVDs but often they are just the modern rom-coms and nothing much else of note. Finding a member of staff to help you might be your biggest problem. If you are happy to stumble along without any assistance and use a self serve machine to issue and return your own books then this is probably the library for you.

It's a smallish library, but there's a great selection of books, and a good study area with all the reference books to hand.

The librarians are always friendly and helpful too. The only thing that's missing is Sunday opening and a coffee shop. ;-)
