I like the fact thatthe library provides a quiet space for people who want to study. Plus, newspapers in other than English such as Arabic which reflects the diversity of Sheffield. In addition, the kids section is down stairs & it needs to reach the Arabic Japanese...etc weekend schools & invite their students & offer enough books in other than English too. Many thanks for the wonderful staff
Visited the library yesterday. It was large and spacious. However the reading table and chairs were so low and not ergonomic. Not good especially for tall persons. You have to bend a lot more forward in order to write. The reading chair backrest were too low and not supporting the back .If you try to sit upright, you realise the back rest is low beneath the level of the mid back. If I read there for one week, I will surely develop a back pain. A lot of things need changing as they are old. The toilet on the 3d floor is old as well. It needs more modernising and color . The should also be signpost like 'pls remain quiet , this is a library'. Some people just make loud conversations without considering others. Staff were helpful and nice.
Sheffield Central Library is a wonderful place, either to take out books, or to use the internet. There's plenty of places to sit quietly and read. The staff are friendly and helpful. The Graves Building, which houses the Library us a lovely Art Deco structure from the 20C.
The reference library is a great place to sit quietly and study, and the staff were very helpful in setting me up with a card for the lending library. Not only that, they went out of their way to ask if there were any specific books I wanted, and then when they didn't have them, ordered the entire rest of the series to be bought by the library for me to read!
Love this place. Good selection of books and a very comfortable reading room on the left as you enter the building. Regular groups for creative writing, poetry, etc along with talks and art exhibitions in the gallery upstairs. Claire who runs the writing and poetry groups is extremely welcoming to all. A library card also allows you to borrow from several branch libraries around the city.
I've been to Sheffield central library for the reading ahead challenge really enjoyed myself . The staff are really friendly from Phillip
A great place. A proper library where books remain the focus whilst activities, IT systems and all other media exist around them
Sheffield Central Library is located in the heart of Sheffield City Centre. The place is quite and is spacious. It is offer free Wi-Fi service if you come with your equipment. So, you can spent more than the normal PC booking time. It offers range of books and references. They do organise different activities, such as enterprise workshops and learning basic skills. It is your one stop learning, studying and stationery stop. Staff is always helpful. The problem is with no toilet facilities. Food is not allowed. Don't surprise if you see someone in the library is sleeping! On average the service is good. When compared with other photocopies services, the central library is cheaper. It is a place to read, research and study.
The staff are very helpful here. I listened to one of the staff members take her time to talk to an elderly and frail man who was obviously lonely and needed someone to talk to. The family research centre on the third floor is great too.
Love the children's library that is nice and calm and has plenty of new books and some toys too. There's a library group with singing for toddlers too that is worth checking out if you have little ones. The adult library could do with freshening up but I don't think it will be there for much longer unfortunately.
