I’ve never seen a library so kick ass. Of course, they have bountiful books. But in addition, they have a coffee bar inside complete with food, private booths to watch movies, game stations for kids to play, and the usual computers and free internet access. They also have the council located inside if you have questions about the area. However the only drawback is the Wi-Fi is very slow if you’re using council Wi-Fi, and entry to the classes are extremely strict. I wanted to take a resume class, but they would not let me in on account of my age. :/Otherwise, I am very please with what the city of Melbourne has done to turn this library into a community gathering spot, where various films and sports games are screened. The outside TV fosters community and togetherness. Every city should have a library like this one.
