Loughborough Library

Loughborough library is probably the second biggest public library in Leicestershire, second only to the Central lending library in Leicester city centre. It has a good selection of titles for both fiction and non-​fiction readers and I would go out on a limb and say they are actually better at getting new titles in than the central lending library.
All the usual library services are available, including internet access, newspapers and a very good selection of magazines. I have saved a fortune on subscription costs as the libary stocks most of the magazines I read. They also have a decent sized music and dvd collection that you can rent for a small price, though you will not find as many titles, especially new ones as you would at commercial retailers.
The staff are always very helpful and will go out of their way to help you find something if you can’t locate it. It also easy to keep track of your loans and renew titles online if you sign up to the internet service they provide, which allows you to do renews online and also reserve titles which are currently on loan, I really like this feature.

A nice sized library offering educational books and many different loan options available to students. There are computers on the main floor and a few eating places. Below that are the quite areas. The system to find books is very handy and easy to navigate

This is a decent sized library, with a large children’s section. They have the ‘bestsellers’ stand, where books are available only for 1 week loans, but other books are all issued for a standard 3 weeks. It’s quick and easy to become a member, and once you are, you’re entitled to 1 hours free internet access a day (although booking is advised for the 16 computers available). They have a comfortable seating area, where all the day’s newspapers are available– much cheaper than buying your own– although get there early at weekends! It can take a while for new books to be stocked, although that’s somewhat expected.
