Members join the Library free by filling in an application form they then receive a card with can be used to borrow items. The Library is well stocked with a huge range of books on different topics. There is parking available in the car park located behind the Library but this is pay and display. The staffs in the Library are very helpful and will search the system to locate specific books if you request it. They will also help you find books within the Library.

Bristol's biggest library, though that doesn't mean its huge, has all you would expect. They've got…read morebanks of computers (that get filled up with students from City of Bristol college), obscure local archives, and a comprehensive fiction section. Unexpected bonuses include a wonderful room for working in upstairs, with rows of wooden desks. Silence reigns in this part of the library, and if you need somewhere quiet to get some reading done in the middle of the city, you can go here without having to buy a cup of coffee. They also have a good sheet music section, and a range of CDs and DVDs on offer - no need to go and pay at Blockbusters. A say 'in this part of the library' because its not necessarily the quietest of places. Keen on enticing the entire community, the kids section usually has a toddler screaming. I don't say this critically, libraries are better places when they're a bit lively, but bear this in mind when visiting. There's plenty to choose from here, and they have a catalogue that links up to the rest of the area, so they can order stuff in for you. If you visit for the first time remember to take along a utility bill so they can let you borrow. Bristol Central Library offers everything you'd expect and a few things you wouldn't in a friendly, convivial setting.

The central library is located next to the cathedral on college green and has an extensive…read morecollection of information in a variety of sources. The downstairs houses most of the non fiction material, and also has a small cafe/eating area, where you are also allowed to eat your own food. Upstairs is the reference section and main computer hub. Make sure you book an computer from the host one or you won't be able to log in. The library is pretty large, but just accommodates the amount of people it is required to, and can get pretty busy during the day - I too have been one of those printing out CVs and clogging up the photocopier. The staff here are really friendly and accommodating - they'll help you find exactly what you need to. Don't be afraid to ask!

I've been disappointed with the choice of books here on a number of occasions. The study area is…read moregood but it's used by so many loud students that it makes it difficult to work here. The staff deal with it, but the students keep up their behaviour. It's frustrating. Lots of space and not many books. I hope they get lots of funding! I really like the staff here. :D I love the online renewal system.

I hadn't been to a library in a long time when I went to Trowbridge Library to enrol. I found the…read morestaff extremely helpful and courteous, happy to spend time with you and help you find what you need. The enrolment process was very easy just needed a bill with your name and address and driving license I think and they sign you up there and then. It's not a huge place but they have a good selection of books and also they have a reference library a hundred metres away that you can use. As well as books the library also has dvd's, videos and cd's which you can rent for a week or overnight the books you can take out for 3 weeks and you can renew online up to twice which is really handy. Also, they have an electronic system of checking items out which saves time.

Frome has always had a library service for as long as I've lived here. I know from history it used…read moreto be in the now Ellenbray Toys shop, and longer before that in a pre-fab hut in the Market Yard. Some years ago it moved to it's present location, a double-storey purpose built building with the River Frome running along one side and facing onto the Market Car Park. Inside, the ground floor has all the fiction and non-fiction books you could ever wish to read, nicely laid out, including many little tucked-away nooks and crannies with comfortable seating to sit and lose yourself browsing books. There is also a separate bright and breezy children's section with play-box and colourful soft cushions, an ideal environment for those early steps of reading. Large Print books cater for those with eyesight difficulties, and there is a gratifyingly good sized selection of these. There is also a DVD hire facility, with a reasonable selection of titles for hire. Computer access is available for free, but there are only a limited number of computers (and it's not unusual to find one or two out of order) so it's not always easy to get onto one. And when you do, the time is limited - and you'll need your library card to be able to access the internet. With more computers and better quicker maintenance this could be a much improved facility. Upstairs there is a large quiet and comfortable research area with all sorts of technical and archive books. A lift is available for wheelchair users to travel this one flight upwards. Back downstairs an added feature is a small Mendip District Council outlet for advice and assistance with all matters of Council Tax, benefits and other features. This is extremely useful for people who are unable to travel in person to the offices and prefer to deal face to face with a service advisor for filling in forms and gettings help and advice. Very discreet, and a good service. The main stamping in and out of books is usually done swiftly and efficiently. But the more sensitive should beware if you take books back late. Whilst most of the Assistants will tell you of the late-return fine you owe quietly, discreetly and politely, there are occasionally one or two who will announce it quite loudly (in the very open and public area) and leave you red-faced and fumbling for your purse whilst the queue builds up behind you! Of course, it is always possible to phone the library to renew over the telephone to maybe avoid this. But that's just the odd occasions over the years. The staff are usually efficient, helpful and polite and all seem to really enjoy their job. A great asset to the town, the library also hosts occasional children's storytime events and talks by authors for the adults. It is very much in the heart of the town both physically and metaphorically speaking.
