Receptionists are very snotty. Constantly spoke over me saying I need to become a member to then get a library card to just use the printer. Might have been bothered to go through the nonsensical process if the lady had any sort of basic human decency.

They do so well with the limited space in their temporary accommodation, and they're always lovely!
