Libraries are usually a nice place of refuge, this on the other hand is not a library I enjoy visiting. Perhaps it is because the council has decided that people don't need to use the bathroom. There are no public toilet facilities in this building.

Good library but never coming back after what I've experienced. Illiterate people come here. An Indian lady came and she was disturbing me repeatedly as I tried to study for an exam. She was asking me to help her because she wanted to print something. I helped her but she still didn't understand *facepalm*. She also asked me for a pen, stupidly I said yes because I was fasting for Ramadan, and I'm not allowed to lie during a fast. Then as she left the library she took my pen. So pissed off. For those who want to study peacefully, don't come here as people will bug you. The Oxfordshire County Library is so much better in comparison as there are mostly educated people and people will bring their own stationary.

5/ 5

Great library, well stocked with a wide range of books, and staff are very helpful. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to libraries, so I like the fact that it's quiet, too. Central Library in city centre is full of people chatting loudly, even the staff!

Arrived here at 405pm to use the printer. It took until 414pm to log in and at 415 it logged off, the computers log off 15 mins before closing. There is nothing to tell you this, the staff don't tell you, it just says it takes a long time to log in. Absolutely shocking facilities for a Cowley library surrounded by student accommodation. No wonder people use university libraries because the council ones are pathetic, oh and the lady with the long hair and glasses is extremely rude. Not sure what this library is still doing there Tbh.
