Sidcup Library

The sidcup library is massive & well maintained with excellent stuff. All the sections are well stocked (especially classics, biographies, history, kids and fiction). It can be very busy after school hours and the general quiet rules dont seem to apply but it is usually empty on saturdays. Unfortunately as the others mentioned there are no public toilets on site…

Sidcup Library is a fairly large library for such a smallish town, but there are very good facilities here.
I’ve used the library to look at the newspapers and magazines to save me buying them, and also for browsing the internet when my internet access at home has been down. There are plenty of internet terminals available for up to an hour at a time, you just have to show your membership card at the main desk and the staff will log you in to one of the computers, assuming one is available, as they can get very busy after school hours. The staff are very polite and helpful.
There is a good, large childrens library here, and they open late on Wednesdays until 8pm which is handy if you work all day. You can also borrow Cds and DVDs, and of course — books!
I think the library would benefit from having some public toilets on site or very close by, but apart from that I have found Sidcup library to be very useful for me!

Sidcup Library has recently been refurbished and has a modern airy appeal to it. As well as a wide range of books to borrow, there are DVD’s and CD’s to borrow too. There are plenty of internet terminals available, but avoid using these when the schools have just finished as it can get busy and noisy. There are comfortable seating areas and food & drink vending machines. The local history section is well stocked and there is plenty of informatuion available on local activities and events. The only drawback is there are no public toilets.
