Historic library with tons of book selections, a separate level for children, and a whole level dedicated to the arts. It's clean, and the staff is friendly.
I like this library a lot. The only little pet peeve I have is the short time on their computers, which is 1 hour and fifteen minutes. They also close their bathrooms a half hour early, which fails to make sense to me frankly. That's literally the only things, though. I like their staff (very helpful and sweet) their facilities are clean and well kept, and what you can't find at their library you can order from their website. This place is pretty much perfect. :)
The staff is the best. Always courteous and helpful. I love the building. I take all my guests to see the library any time they visit me in Manchester.
The collection is a bit limited, they close early half the week and on Sunday, and all the worthless denizens of Manchester come here because they would rather spend money on heroin, cigarettes, and tattoos than internet access at home. Only one bathroom that frequently has a line. This is a city library for 112,000 and it's closed Sunday? What a joke.
On the bright side, it's a lovely old building and the staff are nice usually. And there's free WiFi.
The female security guard is always accusing me of doing things I'm obviously not doing. She is never inside doing any sort security rather sits outside watching people in the park. She actually asked the person behind me if the bag on my back is theirs. No it's mine it is on my back. I understand needing to be assertive because of others though that does not mean she needs to be demeaning to everyone. It is a public library not a jail house.
Staff is very helpful. It's a beautiful​ building with 3 levels.
Nice building from the outside. The inside also has some pretty areas. I have, however, had trouble finding spots to set up and get some work done. Usually there isn't much sitting space, or table areas to set up a laptop. Forget about work collaboratively with anyone. I have also had some bad experiences with some employees who were extremely rude and unaccommodating. Nonetheless, it's an OK place to visit, provided you can find a workspace and you don't have to deal with the staff members I've come across.
Good city library.some days the citys homelessness problems are seen in full strength at library
