  Charming library with separate sections for general reading, children and teens, music, as well as reference. The children and teens section in particular is a cosy little nook. Recommendations of books of different genres, including less prominent ones, are featured. There are not many places to sit and read, but doesn't detract from the overall experience. I had to print something and was greatly delighted that there were computers and printers available, with printing from mobile devices possible. It was easy to use the mobile printing service and I received the print outs with no hassle.

  Encountered the rudest customer service at Cork City Library since I arrived in Ireland. The woman behind the information desk had zero customer service skills and acted as though I was an inconvenience the entire time. It was my first time in the library and I wanted to print some CVs off, but as I don't have a proof of address I couldn't get a library card yet (which is fine and I understand). The woman begrudgingly gave me a code to use a computer for 15 minutes. I printed off 6 pages and it didn't print correctly. I've printed many things and used many computers in my years, so it was clearly an issue with the computer that it printed oddly. I explained the issue to the woman and she made it clear she didn't care at all, and told me "computers don't have minds of their own". I did my best to remain calm and explained I've printed from many computers and never had this issue and I could show her how I printed. She cut me off and said she'll "give me the 60 cents but if it does it again I won't be refunded". I printed what I needed and got out of there. I've never experienced such rude treatment, particularly in a library. This woman should not be the face of the library. She is doing a terrible job and I will never return. Worst library ever. I'd give this rating 0/5 stars if I could.

  Small library with free membership. There are printer, scanner and photocopier you can use (charges applied). You can also send document to the printer by email. Free wifi. They have computers you can use (free 10mins, then charge applied).
  
  Not many place to read. Books seem old. But they also offer movie, music, audio book. I am surprised to see The Big Bang Theory in their collection.
