Small discrete and guaranteed concentration as this is a very quiet library if you're the type to…read moreget easily distracted well traffic outside is one less thing for you to worry about as it's on a quite road so the only thing you will see is a bus which are usually rare and the odd pedestrian. It's the kind of library where if you go to the big library you never find what you're looking forwhich would most likely be a book, you come here bingo you're likely to find it.
Who says you need to go to a Library, just to study. Take walk with me. As you enter straight away…read moreyou see this huge space in front of you some times it's taken up with old ex library books which are on sell. Some times it's just an empty space so you have room to breathe. Ground Floor is for the cuties, because they have a children's section ranging from baby books to post toddlers, toddlers all the way up to teenagers. That's on your right as you enter. On your left they have the adult section range of books from a range of authors weather you're a romantic and love to be swept away by love stories to if you're a vampire waiting to feed on the next best horror book. Maybe there are a few basic skills you want to improve, there are books to help with that and the best thing isthey are just so simple. First Floor: Exhibition Area Asians history as well as present one of they're focus is around 'The oldest and most famous highway in the Indian sub-continuant'. Gloucester and York Rooms Two rooms used for meetings, public meetings, fun events for family and children. Toilets. Second Floor: Reference Library some where you can study, read the newspaper surf the internet. Redbridge Museum is on this floor which gives you the history on Redbridge, Gants Hill Dagenham, Wanstead Park with brail translation and touch screen information.
As local librarys go this one is pretty good. Spread over many floors it quite distinctive and has…read morelots of services for people of all ages. Even has a local museum of ilford. The reference library is very good and about the same of most library in this class. On the ground floor they have a lively main area and you can use pcs if you wish. Also they rent out other media of most of librarys now like cds and dvds. Its location is right of of them main high street and has a car park very near by
There is something nostalgic about libraries. Gone are the days of borrowing 8 books at a time and…read morepaying 5p fines for late returns. I'm wondering when they'll just have stands that you just touch your IPad on and hey presto you have an e-book that you can borrow for 4 weeks :) - it would automatically remove - saving us from fines. This library has a number of computers that you can use for free with your account. If you don't own a printer, you can join this library and print away, printing is really cheap - like 5p per page. They have a small coffee machine, with some tables and chairs, but to be honest, it's not terribly comfortable so you probably wont spend too long reading here.
I do this thing about once every five years…read more I realise what a great thing reading is and what a great resource libraries are. So I head into my library, and talk to the bearded guy about how I'd like to renew my card. So he looks up my details and gives me that disappointed look, just like the one your dentist gives you when you tell him you haven't had a check up in nine years. I did this very recently at Fullwell Cross. It was a great experience, if only because I was fascinated by how the library has kept the exact same smell for the last twenty-odd years. Fascinating. It's not only the smell that has stayed the same but also the books. The majority of them are all very 1980. By that I mean big, bulky and with a ripped-plastic cover with brown marks on it. If you're looking for some new books, I don't think this is the place for you. But if you're not too bothered about that then there are some great things to discover here. And afterall, it's free. Any place that offers you something for free is surely something worth checking out. In summary, I found the place kind of amusing. It hasn't really changed or grown, the shelves are a little lacking in love and there's barely anything in the way of new content. But it's still kind of nice; and much quieter than the world waiting outside. A pleasant, if slightly depressing experience.
