I've been enjoying rediscovering the wonders of the library this year. It had been years since I'd…read moreset foot in one, and I have to say, I have been missing out. The Browns Plains library is impressive indeed. I spend a lot of time in my vehicle for work, so the audio books have been a real favourite of mine. I've also been borrowing DVDs and graphic novels for my son. There is free Wi Fi on offer and all the newspapers of the day too. Browns Plains library must have at least 20 computers available along with printing and copying services. Prices are very reasonable and the staff are most helpful. Why not drop into your local if you have a free moment. I promise you won't regret it.

They sell books for various charities every couple of weeks which is a great way to own a few book…read more You can order books in from anywhere in the Logan library network. There is plenty of parking on site and undercover to keep your car protected during summer storms and hot days. Right across the road from Grand Plaza it's a great place to leave your kids (high school age not the little ones) doing their homework and assignments while you pop over and do the grocery shopping. The Library always has something interesting on display. There are readings for the youngsters and often events on for those who are older just keep an eye on that noticeboard.

This library is modestly sized, but I enjoyed it all the same. It is thoughtfully set out so a…read moresurprising number of books are available here. The children's section is particularly impressive, offering not only books but a section full of colourful, tiny furniture placed there so kids can get engrossed in their books while parents browse in peace. They also put together a range of school holiday activities. The library was internally attached to a coffee shop located on the outside of the building. Here they have some grownup sized furniture to take it easy on, as you enjoy your beverage and your book. One thing I found particularly handy was a shelf of leaflets featuring advice on which authors to try depending on what genres or other writers you like. Each bright orange flyer had a statement such as 'if you enjoy J.R.R. Tolkien, try so and so'. I think this is a great tool as I always have a bit of an emotional struggle after completing one book, especially if I've really enjoyed it. It can be quite difficult to find something that really captures my attention again, so I owe one to the great leaflet creator.

It may not have as many physical books on the shelf as the Garden city library but I always make a habit of signing up to the library website and ordering the books to my library of choice anyway. Also, this is a great library for kids because there's a small park connected to it with basic climbing and swing equipment. For aspiring writers, the Writers of Seville Writer's Group meet here once a month every 1st and 2nd Saturday. It's free to attend but contact the library hpk@brisbane.qld.gov.au for more information. Last year they self published their anthology and the Holland park library even stocked it on their shelf. How cool and supportive is that?

Stones Corner library is probably the smallest library I've even been to. I visit a lot because…read moreit's across the road from where I work and I love me some reading. The small size of the library means there isn't a huge variety of books on offer BUT they more that compensate for this with their lovely staff, and the ability to just order whatever you want in anyway. I always have a book or two on hold. Sometimes there will be a good find in the fastback section - which you only borrow for 7 days and has to be returned to the library it was borrowed from. So my hot tip, if you haven't ordered something in, is to go looking there.

I've been accused of being a nerd for as long as I can remember, and I've always denied the charge…read more Waxing lyrical about my local Brisbane City Council library is not going to help my case I know, but my local library has provided me with so many hours of entertainment that it would be wrong not to laud its merits. The library has a terrible reputation that it's a place of silent contemplation. Being quiet is associated with study and from that, people deduce it's not a place to go to have fun or be social. This is wrong! I don't know any place where you have to be quieter than the movies but everyone expects the cinema to be lots of fun. Sure, there are silent reading areas within the library but there are group areas as well. It even has an X-box set up in the young adults' area with a huge range of games and controllers for group play. The work/reading area is ideally situated being far enough from the group activities as to not be distracting. This is a perfect arrangement for people like me who usually work from home but like to seek refuge from the summer heat by working in the library. There are plenty of individual tables to set up my laptop and utilize their fast, free wifi. After a morning's work I can duck into Garden City to grab a coffee and a cheap lunch at the food court. The library also hosts regular events for a range of users such as book clubs, training sessions and author talks which you can find out about through the Brisbane City Council website. The December events are: Story time for children (English and Mandarin for older children) Computer literacy classes Babies, books and rhymes (for mums and toddlers) The details can be found here: http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/facilities-recreation/Whats-on/library-events/index.htm So instead of seeking refuge from the summer heat at the beach, community pool or cinema, give the Garden City library a go.
