It all looks fine, but one of the Librarians hasn't got the memo about librarians being nice friendly people. You know who you are. And I'm not the only one to notice the chill!

When I moved to England, Portishead Library was very useful to me: free books, CDs, and 2 hrs free internet for residents. Plus £0.15/print. It is very important to keep learning and have a quiet space to do so. The new library is very nice too with coffee machines and newspapers to read.

5/ 5

Used the library for many years but only recently did I discover the reservation service. It's easy to use and works really well. I now tend to read my favourite authors' books in the sequence they were written, watching their characters grow with each one and with growing appreciation of authors' skills.
