Good library to work from. However, it's too warm inside (much warmer than the temperature outside) and the toilet is rather very dirty.

This library/hub is over several floors, all accessible by lift. There's everything you would expect in a library; fiction and non-fiction books, research facilities, information on just about everything and on-line access. They, also, have meeting areas and an education suite where IT courses take place - there's a whole range of courses advertised at the suite, from accessing the Internet and using MS Word to coding. An exceedingly useful place where friendly and helpful staff are in evidence on all floors.
