Where did the idea of extending the library go?
After all, even one of the council's pool plans (before the listing) extended the library onto top floor of the new building.

The new library is short of space and facilities.
It has no periodicals and little seating.
If LH had a study area with wifi, it would be full up (as is the main library at lewisham) and there is probably is no limit to the rooms you could fill with PCs, as this too is very popular and useful for study purposes.
