Marrickville Library and Pavilion

Public library

👍 I'd say this is a 3.5 star Library, but architecturally and design wise as well as seating and studying options it is excellent (so for that element it is 4 stars). The draw backs for me were the top level close to the mezzanine, the coffee shop can be very loud, and certain areas of the facility ha...

Sutherland Library

Library

😠 This “library” is a joke. It’s loud, obnoxious and the precise antithesis of what a library is for. I will never go back, and it’s a true shame as tax payers built and fund such a place. A library is for those who are interested in expanding their minds and educating themselves, a place to escape t...

Forestville Library

Public library

😠 24/7 access is a great service to the community. Unfortunately it only encourages young people to gather and socialise. Almost prefer homeless people to use it as shelter from the cold than obnoxious, disrespectful kids who aren’t using the library as it’s intended, or respecting other community mem...

Rockdale Library

Public library

👍👍 I love this library. A particular shout out to a few features: The tasteful design of the stairs, light features, and furniture.

Fairfield Library

Library

👍 Spacious library with plenty of things to do from 3D printing to a console room and even a kids play area. Modern and comfortable facility best used as a place to hang out and relax rather than study quietly like traditional libraries. Nevertheless it is a massive upgrade to the old Fairfield Libr...

Cronulla Library

Library

😠 Great location and facilities, unfortunately, way too noisy to read, study or think, things you would do in a normal library. Please call it a community centre, there is nothing wrong with that, and it will be much less misleading for people looking for a quiet place. There is no such thing as the "...
