Hi Jon, I agree.
I've not yet been to the new library so was reserving judgement but your experience is making me feel I'm better off finding somewhere else to study.
I'm unable to study at home at the moment as there is a great deal of DIY noise going on and was really looking forward to the library reopening as an answer to my problems. Anyone know if the Horniman Library is open to the public, and if so - what's it like?
I don't want to put people off FH, but I do hope this can be rectified. Both Catford and Lewisham (oh how the names trip off the tongue like silver pearls) libraries have loads of nooks and crannies for quiet study though.
