A lovely library, but I must point out that certain members of staff definitely require customer service skills' training. Hopefully, this new skillset would lead them to realise that sometimes they have to break away from their cosy chats when a customer requires assistance. One particular person is downright rude, discourteous and ill-mannered. Of course, I realise they are paid the minimum wage and this could be a reason why they find it difficult to be polite and helpful. However, I don't visit the library to be glared at and spoken down to, I visit because I am a bibliophile and I'd hate to see such a delightful asset get closed down. I often put off visiting because I am a shy, introverted person who often finds visits outside my home traumatic, panic-inducing and detrimental to my mental well-being. I do hope things change as I love libraries; I have loved libraries since being a small child. I should not have to dread visits to my local library. Saying that, I will endeavour to visit again, maybe on different days, but if this apparent lack of passion for their career continues, all my books will all have to be sourced from bookshops. Please stop judging books by their covers. It's hurtful.
