Have walked past this place so often thought that I really needed to get past the door. Incredible building with lovely atmosphere and old fashioned feel. Felt like I'd gone back in time! Alexander Armstrong is the president but was obviously busy doing Pointless cos no sign of him! Able to get refreshments but staff a little snooty- definitely sighed when i asked where milk was!

A beautiful place containing probably hundreds of thousands of books from well in the past to the present on pretty much any subject you can think of. Staff were really friendly and gave us a brief history of the society and the building as we entered. Although we came on a visit to Newcastle and so couldn't stop for long, I would definitely come back here properly if I ever had the chance. A great place to bring a laptop, bury your head in a book or simply have a coffee/tea.

The lit and Phil is a wonderful library, like setting foot into the library of a stately home. Its unspoilt interior has survived intact and is stunning. Its one of Newcastle's landmark buildings that is not to be missed. Had it not been for pioneers like the lit and Phil we would not have the library's that we have today.

Absolutely incredible library but the staff are so rude, even for librarians. Treat you like you're an irritation just for visiting. There seems to be a contempt for young people, which is ironic, because if it wasn't for people my age in a few years the library will be empty. I am a paying member but frequently have to deal with rude guests and staff acting like I'm a pain in their ass for being here.

Another world with ancient (and new) books, oak tables, and iron curlicue railings off the middle of the town centre. You can drop in and browse without being a member, they don't bite (although some may speak at length...). Some interesting displays, lectures and clubs there too for the interested. And if you become a member you can enter the SILENCE ROOM on your own
