I myself like books on nature and the wild and some of the books i found were to me uterally amazing. They have such a range on all types of books, and they also have the computers which can be handy for doing a bit of work.

Inside i am always suprised as to just how quiet it is. But due to its vast size im sure any sounds just dissipate. Some of the lighting if i remember correctly is very orangy, weird becasue it doesnt actually affect your reading. They also offer computers which you can use for a small aount of money. They also offer rental of some cd's and dvd's too which is a great addtion. If your into books or need to do research this is the place for you!

Since this library opened many years ago, I have continued to be disappointed by it. Although the…read moreselection of books are great and ambitious, and it is well ordered and categorised, I feel continually let down by the organisation of the system. Every time I go in to find a book, it is often not there. There paperback books are not ordered in a friendly to find, alphabetical format, merely put on rotating kiosks to find, and more often than not, books are claimed to exist and yet cannot be find. However, the reference section upstairs and the computer area is pleasant and well serviced. It is a shame because in such a lovely setting, this has so much potential. However, you can request books which makes things a little easier

This place has definitely gone down hill! Or maybe I have just got older…read more.. I practically lived in here when I did my degree 02 - 05. Am now doing an Open University course, an am able to use the facilities of the library. The facilities are still the same, and they have an extensive range of books, but they could do with more people on "patrol". It was definitely quieter in my day! Wanting a bit of quiet space for some study, I went to the "quiet area, single study only". Most people were hanging round in groups chatting. Heard some very loud conversations from the other end of the room about what people had been up to the night before. When I was there before, there were a lot of staff that would have had words for people being that noisy, but nothing happened. I am but one person, I was not about to challenge groups of 6 + gobby students! Plus, it was freezing! Yes I know it is cold at the moment, but i had my snowboarding base layers on under my jeans, 2 jumpers and a hoody, but I still had to keep my coat on in there it was that cold. Did my studying today in the pub as it was quieter than the library!

Unfortunately it is is closed on Sunday which was our only day in Oxford. Consequently we weren't able to see the inside or take a tour of the library and got to see the exterior only. The architecture is magnificant and even the exterior is worth seeing.

What an amazing experience! We had a tour of the Bodleian Libraries, and it was by far the…read morehighlight of our trip to Oxford. The rich history of the library was captivating, and the stunning architecture of the buildings was not to miss. Natasha, our tour guide, was an absolute gem! She guided us through the majestic halls and took us behind the scenes, explaining the lavish history along the way, always with a warm smile. Her enthusiasm for the library was palpable, and her extensive knowledge made the tour even more fascinating. One of the highlights was seeing the Duke Humfrey's library. Such a beautiful and historic building with crests of the University of Oxford covering the ceiling, and Kings, Queens, and Bishops along the aisles. The Radcliffe Camera and The Divinity Schools were not to miss as well. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oxford.

But the really cool thing is that it still looks like a really old building from the 16th century on the outside! I think it's a perfect balance of antiquity and modernity, and the management did a really good job of preserving the historicity of the place but at the same time keeping up with technology and modernity that libraries demand. I frequented this library when I was studying Shakespeare in England. They used to have free internet, but they started charging a minimal fee when I was there - which is understandable since it's mostly tourists who go and try to take advantage of free internet. It's still really inexpensive compared to internet cafes and the hotel internet. The book selection isn't the largest, but it's in one of the most unique and historically significant towns in the world. If you're ever in Stratford-Upon-Avon, you definitely need to pop in and have a look!
