What a gem this museum and gallery is!Aside from the fascinating story of Kirkcaldy, the building is so fresh and clean, you feel you're back in the good old days of public service! Friendly and interested staff, and a nice cafe, topped off a surprisingly uplifting visit. Don't miss!

An update on my comments below. My first visit of 2023 and again I'm pleased to say that the staff were excellent, in both the library and the cafe. I like the small couch in the main library to sit on and peruse a book, please can we have more of those? The 'reference' library (it might be called something else) where the public access computers are located was busy. I want to put this next bit delicately, the trouble was it had an overpoweringly unpleasant odour in there which didn't dissipate in the 90mins I was in the library, cafe and museum. The cafe is obviously popular and clearly many folk go in for a break and to have a quiet place. Occasionally there are newspapers available, not always that day's but I guess we can't expect the local authorities to purchase such an item for the community. Still the signal was good so I could get my news update on my smartphone. Yes, I will go again, and not just to return my books! It's not the biggest place but has a decent small library, obviously you can order books for collection, if you know what you want. A very small museum with a variety of bits and pieces which is quite interesting, but doesn't take too long to go around. Upstairs, there's a small art gallery which is worth a perusal, if you like art - you're probably disposed to it if you visit a cultural centre/library/museum anyway! Some quaint old world loos in the below ground level area. A nice cafe (but only a cafe) coffee, tea, soft drinks (I think small bottles of wine too) pre made sandwiches, sugary cakes and sometimes soup. It's ok but check the drinks/soup are hot, I've had a few of late that are not hot, indeed barely warm! Library staff have always been lovely to me. I will go again.
