I probably go to the library about once a week and as I work, these are always at times when kids are out of school.

I must say I haven't had any issues. Occasionally you get the odd twitching loon on the computers but really, the kids seem to be fairly well behaved, generally keeping quiet and being respectful. The place isn't as quiet as the libraries I used to go to, but then the libraries I used to go to were run down and falling apart because the Tories were starving the LAs of funding and they were running down their libraries as they needed to save money.

At least Lewisham have put money into the library, it has good and accessible opening hours, even to those of us that commute. it has a diverse array of books and you really have access to the whole of the Lewisham collection, it is a clean, bright and well painted building with helpful staff in a nice, well connected location.

stop moaning. Sydenham library is horrible and it is in a dank bit of Sydenham that isn't safe.

Thanks for the library FHmanager, excellent job, try not to let LBC starve you of funds in what will undoubtedly be a restrictive budget round.
