Beautiful library in Bethnal Green situated in the park. From the side of evening looks very historic and from the inside it is bright with high ceiling. There is a designated area for children and there is a mural on the wall. It is very eye catching. The staff is very helpful as well. I forgot to bring my card. They could retrieve my information from the system by having my last name and date of birth. I was able to borrow some book without the card. There is a water fountain and public bathroom.
I’ve been here recently to study and found that it was quite noisy like people talking over the phone, children playing around and some other noises. Wouldn’t recommend at all if you’re searching for a place to study or read peacefully. Hope the staff ensure to keep the library as quiet as possible and that people themselves can keep silence in a public library.
One of the best libraries in Tower Hamlets. We found great collection of books for adults and kids. Librarians are friendly and did their best to find books according to the interests. The Library is big and light. It has the required amenities for great time spending individually and with family or friends. Also this historical building is fabulous because of its internal decoration and almost 100 years of history.
Wide variety of books, comfortable study spaces and computer room. Extremely polite and knowledgeable staff; always willing to help. Altogether a pleasant experience. No need to update. Although the personnel has changed the staff still maintain a high level of professionalism, they demonstrate the maxim: 'A library is much more than just a place to store books.' Thanks to all at BethnalGreen Library!
One of my favourite London libraries, mainly because the staff there create such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. They also clearly have a genuine love for books, as well as a profound knowledge of their books that they are more than happy to share with visitors who might need help or advice. The children's library is particularly well stocked. On top of that it is a beautiful heritage building about to celebrate its centenary. During the pandemic it was threatened with closure, which if it had gone ahead would have been a tragic loss for the community in Bethnal Green. I remember the days when the children's library was a separate space, a better arrangement but one that had to end because of staffing cuts. People, if we want to keep our libraries as places where both visitors and ideas are welcome, we must use them - go there, chat to the librarians and take a book out, or two!
The Bethnal Green Library has been my saviour for many years . This Library is really special with easy access, when using public transport, entering into Bethnal Green Gardens next to Bethnal Green underground station. This Library has the greatest selection of books for any aged . This is impressive beautiful and magnificent building . Great members of staff . 10/10
A great piece of architecture to visit for non-tourist attractions. I enjoyed taking photos here and was amazed by how well it is kept. Books were well organised. It’s a spacious library, good for wheelchair and buggy. Met one of the lady in Cubitt Town library for a cover day, she passionately did a nursery rhyme session which I thought was AWESOME Thank you! My daughter liked it a lot. So for her, I travelled to Bethnal Green library to actually experience their rhyme time. A guy was doing the session that day and he was full of energy, got the kids to jump up, follow and move about Nice work guys! Everyone enjoyed it. I just want to say Thank you again!
Does house books and has limited space to study and read but there are no rules on etiquette and respect to each other. Librarians support mums allowing their kids to scream instead of simply stepping outside and people taking calls etc. If you're looking to find a quiet space to study, read or chill this isn't the library for you.
I don't usually go into the library myself but,the garden, park and surrounding areas have a great many things going on.I especially like walking around and sometimes feed not only the birds usually the pigeons but the squirrel's if it's the right time of day, the rest is history as the saying goes, enjoy yourself I dare you,buy some proper bird food from one of the large supermarket's and enjoy the frenzy of birds feeding and remember you caused it,why feed them? Because your a rebel and don't you know it .
Nice little library for the area. Would be a great place to work on a laptop, except that there are no electrical outlets anywhere -- they should really just put in a few extension cords with power strips. Wifi is great though, and fast. I'd give it 4 stars except for the lack of outlets, and also that the children's area is just a sectioned-off area in the main room, so you'll need good headphones to get anything done.
