Richmond Library

I was very disappointed when i visited here. Considering it’s prestigious location on the green this library is run down and considerably dated.
It reminded me of an old hospital. Quite cold and depressing.
Richmond is one of the most affluent borough’s in London and thought considering how much it costs to park around the green they could afford to bring this place in to the 21^st Century.
Hopefully they will soon.

A bit old and rundown this library is still a great asset and has lots of character. There is a huge selection of books of all categories: children’s books, reference books, travel books etc. It is gradually modernising and there is good internet access as well as DVDs available. There are lovely, quiet, relaxing reading and work areas. It is so easy to register with the library and have all these great resources available and therefore save lots of money on buying pricey books.
