    I needed some documents printed for the same day, so I thought to head to Stirling's library,…read moresomewhere I'd never visited before. In my former student days, I'd head to the on-campus labs. So, somewhere that offers printing isn't something I've really thought about until now. You don't need to be a member to print but if you're thinking of becoming a regular visitor, it's worth joining so you can just get on with whatever you need to be doing, after showing your library card at the desk. In order to gain entry for the day, I had to show something official with my name on it. - A bank card was just fine. I was then sorted with a PC log-in. There were just four PCs, all free at the time. The library was very quiet when I visited around midday but perhaps busier periods can become a little difficult with so few available. The Windows systems running on the computer was a really out-dated one, and the computer itself was a little bit slow. I get the feeling that the computers are mainly to be used for searching the library's book collection, as I was unable to close this function, only minimise it. I printed the three documents I need and an additional copy of one of them. Unfortunately, only the three separate documents came out and not the extra one. This wasn't such a big deal, and I could do without it. I had what I needed and I had plans approaching. So I paid 15p for my three black and white A4 prints and I was on my way. I got just what I was after and there was the added bonus of pleasant, helpful staff. This would certainly be a good place to spend a few hours on something productive, if you can't quite find peace at home.

    Signet Library - Afternoon tea

    The space is absolutely iconic so beautiful. The columns and the library. It feels so formal but…read morecan be more relaxed. We saw others in parkas, joggers and leggings. The flavors are complex and definitely geared towards foodies. I went all in what was described as a Portuguese cheese roll which tasted like Gorgonzola very heavy which is one of my least favorite cheeses so it was a matter of personal preference. The desserts loved the banana rice pudding. It was divine and my favorite item. The chocolate mousse w/a cherry filling was to die for. The desserts were my favorites. Service is prompt and it's leisurely go at your own pace. We did not feel rushed even being 1 of the last tables remaining.

    Edinburgh has no shortage of places for afternoon tea. After some internet research, we landed on…read morethe Signet Library. If you want a very quiet and peaceful experience, this is for you! If the quality of the bites matter, this is for you! Stepping into the tea room is literally like stepping into a library. Voices are hushed and tables are spaced out widely to allow for a very intimate experience. The savory tray was filled with delectable treats that were all so well made. The sweets tray that followed was equally gorgeous and delicious! You can really tell that they take pride in creating delicate bites that are very well thought out! So tasty! At 69 pounds, the tasting is more expensive than you'll find in some of the restaurants, but the ambiance and experience is very elevated!

    Whitburn Library

    Having lived in Whitburn for many years I decided it was time I joined the library…read more Whitburn library isn't that big and I was disappointed by the small choice of books. For women's general fiction (think Celia Ahrene, Louise Bagshaw etc) they have 200 books. Not ideal if you plan on reading all books by a particular author as I haven't found one author yet that they have all their books. The sections of varying types of books are well laid out and easy to find:- War, Fact, Fiction (broken up into smaller sections), Craft and Hobbies, Some language books though not many, a few audio books and a children's section (broken up into baby right upto teenage). The children's book section has almost its own room. At the back of the library there are 2 reading areas, one with tables which I guess is meant for studying and soft comfy seating next to the magazine and newspaper stand. The magazines and newspapers cannot be taken out of the library. Internet access is free here and there are 6 pc's, only 4 at time of writing this were connected to the printer and its worth asking first as they tend not to ask you. The printer is on the librarian's desk and they do seem to check whatever comes through. Also situated in the library is the Whitburn museum, a small collection of banners, posters, pictures and memorabilia. Ranging from pictures of the first gala day to a sewing machine from the old levi's factory to pictures of the Polkemmet mine. Admittance to the museum is free and worth a look. The staff vary from helpful to downright rude and unhelpful (I asked about ordering a book from another library), but the majority are nice. The library also stock a reasonable amount of large print books and regularly have a sale of ex-stock. DVD hire is also available though not many titles are available (mostly childrens). Hire is £1.99 for 1 night compared to £3 from the nearby DVD rental shop for 2 nights.
