Biggin Hill Memorial Library

Generally very calm and inviting environment

An essential facility like this library should not be found within the screams of children unsupervised either by parents or staff. It's not a place of quiet study, of mental growth. Like most libraries, the low-paid staff are scared to discipline the sometimes foul-mouthed parents and children, visiting only to play computer games on the unclean p.c.'s, insulated by the books, now used mostly as traditional, background wallpaper. Convenient for a quick coffee, for those readers who don't find caf chatter, swimming hall screaming, and the cynical babble of desk staff, consoling themselves with one-liners with the security guard, (there to protect the one-or-two readers who may timidly request some peace), too distracting. I shouldn't like to be without the facility, but should require a new society before being willing to visit it again.

Small library with an adaptable study area and good opening hours, especially during holidays like Christmas. The library has a nice selection of books, DVDs and newspapers/magazines. The toilets are for the community without a need to purchase anything. The close proximity to the swimming pool is a perk.
