Amazing building, great staff. There's so much goes on here. It's way more than books.
Peaceful and efficient. Good book collection. A puzzle piece 🧩 of libraries. As you have different sections to the library including a well stocked music and art Library section. It is also a cultural hub . The meeting place of the SBC theatre. Leeds soapbox. With the dynamic duo of Hanna and Firas et al
