The ambiance and the environment is nice here. You can relax on the sofas in the back or work in assignments on the desk tables. However, only issue is that almost anyone can use the Wi-Fi. It would be better if the Wi-Fi is password protected or so. But it makes sense since it is a public library but I feel unsafe going on their Wi-Fi for safety and privacy concerns
I like it. Nice atmosphere, pretty good atmosphere, and did I mention that there's an amazing atmosphere this library provides?
Daughter rung to sort overdue council tax bill. She was told rent and council tax is a necessity bill. 2 weeks pay to stretch 8 weeks when just starting work is impossible. She has mental health issues thought she was doing well to try to sort. So consequence daughter told hearing and food and car insurance to get to said job to pay bill in 1st place not a priority. What dont they understand about cost of living crisis. Do advisor live under a log.
