sorry i have to disagree with that.
Sydenham library is not as bad as you may think.
yes it needs a good coat of paint , the green inside that library makes it a bit dark, but the plus side is i have a choice of over 4 times the amount of books on offer at foresthill.
its more peaceful as well.
do you remember foresthill before the refurb ?
it was cold, had bad lighting , paint pealing off the walls and leaked when ever it rained, the only reason lewisham did something was because the roof fell in otherwise it would still be the same.
my main fear is if and when lewisham get round to cleaning sydenham up they will turn it in to another IT center with little choice over books, its all good and well saying forsthill offers the full range of books in lewisham but come on be honest here, if you want a book how many times have you been told by the staff it must be ordered in ?
