Wandsworth Town Library

Don’t you wish your borough had a library like mine?
Wandsworth Town library just reopened yesterday, and you can bet your bookmarks I was there. After a £1.5m renovation, the library is brand spanking new inside a beautiful listed building in the centre of town. Self-​service machines are peppered throughout the library’s two floors; the wi-​fi is free; a dozen or so computer terminals are available for library users without laptops; there’s a dedicated area for study with readily accessible power ports; and the availability of books to check out is pleasingly wide, varied and up-​to-​date. Oh, and the children’s area is an entirely separate room and separate floor to the adult areas upstairs, which means the likelihood of having screaming children next to you while you’re hanging out on one of the lounge chairs reading a book and looking out the floor-​to-​ceiling window is negligible.
Yet another reason why I love my neighbourhood.
