Hove Library brighton

I took my 5yr old son here for the first time last week and the whole experience was absolutely lovely. There is a great children's area with an extensive selection of books. The staff were very helpful in re issuing our expired library cards and the service and quality of the food/drinks in the cafe was similarly excellent. We loved the 'help yourself' cucumber and lemon water :) A thoroughly enjoyable visit, we will be back soon.

Stumbled upon this library, beautiful inside, quiet but not silent, full of facilities and a good selection of books. It has a Café Domenica inside where they offer training opportunities to people who aren't always able to access jobs. Sometimes you have to wait a while, but the sandwiches are really lovely and everything is good value.

Had a cup of coffee , the coffee was nice but the staff were much nicer

An absolute gem of a building bang in the middle of Hove and next to a bus stop. I LOVE this library and am heartbroken they are trying to ruin it with an inappropriate children's nursery in the basement and yet another cafe on the ground floor (when there are scored of cafes nearby). They need to host events in the evenings again and maximise use of the building without ruining it. I really miss those. Also Hove has no venues of its own.

Good quiet little library with a great children’s area. Loved coming here as a child and now bringing children here!

The children's library is lovely and has a great selection of books. The staff are friendly and helpful so if you can't find what you need they will assist you. There is wheelchair access and Baby changing facility. Although small, the main library with it's beautiful built in shelves offers a variety of books. There is also a little cafe in the library should you be in need of refreshments. Lovely library, lovely staff.

Great place when open. Computer room on the middle floor. Great selection of books. A place for light snacks and coffee. Well trained staff to help when and if necessary. Good for students with a study up stairs. A great place to relax and sit down. Disabled toilet on ground floor. Less busy then the library in central Brighton,but still a good place for everyone. Can't wait for it to reopen again.

Good place friendly staff manger lovely

A great public service...now open every day.

Lovely staff, nice cafe, peaceful, and full of books!
