Handily sited for access for King Cross residents although parking is an issue. Lots of books, suprisingly with a good large print section.

A great large iconic building with so many floors and resources, this was a real library. All kinds of colourful characters would visit. Students, professors, retirees, vagrants, and families would be here. The ground floor inremmebr where people would scavenge for the daily newspapers. And all fiction books where I would get my first taste of Stephen King. Can tee had homemade sandwiches plus snacks and jacket potatoes were good and affordable. But the 5th floor was my spot. The reference floor where students would come and study. With its large tall windows bringing great light into the building and vast views of Bradford City. Such a shame this building is no more. I don't live in Bradford anymore but memories still linger and there will always be a special place of this library in my heart.

But its facilities are pretty cool: all your fiction, reference and research needs are catered to. There are regular library sales which are both cheap and eclectic, great for picking up some intriguing vintage bargains (that look cool on your Ikea bookshelves). Multiple floors, decent loos, nice and warm in winter and a ton of info available on local news and events, a good children's section and that great retro 70s architecture. Pretty damn good if you ask me.

It is quite a large building for a small town, so is able to carry a good selection of books. The range is quite standard - reference, non-fiction, fiction and childrens. The same staff have worked there for as long as I can remember and they are very knowledgeable, efficient and helpful. They are always happy to check stock and order books in for you. They also have a good dvd rental range, and free internet access for members. Although libraries are getting less and less used nowadays as more people have their own internet access, this branch is usually quite busy.

The Huddersfield University Library is the biggest library in the Huddersfield area. It is not only…read moreopen for students, but also to any member of the public that pays a small fee annually (and it really is worth it). The library has 6 floors, with hundreds books on any subject. It also has magazines, newspapers and scientific journals that are boring. The library offers a number of bureau services such as laminating and binding. As a student you also have access to PCs and iMacs. There is also a wireless network for all you laptop nomads. This is for sure a very interesting place, where you can spend hours.

It's a centre used by teens, adults and most often children considering that it's located next to a primary school and baby centre. It's a small and comfortable library, with a great children's area with jigsaws, colouring activities and great books. It's obviously not going to be some huge and grand library because it's just a presumably poorly funded council library located on a main street. It fulfils exactly what it says it does. But for what it is it's a great little library. It's got pretty much all of your basic needs. The other person is just a little snob who probably doesn't even live in the area. If you like books, comfortable lighting and sofas, free WIFI and computers, very cheap printing, you'll probably like this library. Also, why are you coming to a predominantly children's library for its political books? Obviously it won't have a great selection. The rest of the genres are well fulfilled though, I've taken out quite a few books and loved them. The fiction here is great :) (the staff maybe could be a little nicer, but it's in the middle of council estates. it's kind of our thing)

It has an impressive reference section for all your research needs. The children's section is well stocked with good books, as is the non fiction section. The fiction suffers from the same curse of most libraries by having a massive collection of romances with watercoloured covers but because of the size there's usually something for everyone. The have a reasonable sized collection of CD and DVD for hire at very good rates and free internet for library members. In the school holidays they arrange activity days/afternoons for young children that are worth a visit.

With great…read moreestablishments like this Headingley truly does seem to operate as an almost independent mini city in its own right - you can hardly want for anything - with all the cafes, restaurants, shops, grocers and even a library. The library is central and situated within the heart of Headingley, so it's really easy to find. The books there are plentiful, although it's not quite as big as the central library in Leeds, you shouldn't struggle too much in finding what you want - certainly if you're browsing for pleasure there is a huge amount to choose from. They also have great local community boards and so it's well worth nipping in just to see what events and offerings are going on near by! A brilliant and essential part of Headingley life. Fab!

There's a relatively large PC area where people can use the internet or do work and print stuff out (I think it's 40p for the first page and then I can't remember what it is after that). There's also a great selection of fictional novels, but the horror and sci fi are pretty small. Also there's quite a lot of books about cowboys, which I don't get Lots of new DVDs to rent for a week at a time, plus CDs for those that still use them. My best library. Apart from the one in town, which is prettier. But I still like this one. It's my best.
