Laidlaw is a recently opened library of the University of Leeds. It is a very modern library where you can find books to borrow or read, coffee shop to drink and socials and spend time in studying. I recommend it!
Good library but should open 24/7 again! It's much nicer than EBL in my opinion.
Good and modern . It contains a coffe shop.
Tranquility, isolation, and fruitfulness unite under this library’s floor.
Some degenerate was talking very loudly whilst scoffing some ready salted walkers but other than their manners and poor crisps taste Laidlaw is an excellent library. Very hard to find a seat but you will do eventually, but I guess that’s inevitable.
