Surry Hills Library

Calm, clean and wonderful library in the heart of the Surry Hills. The staff are wonderful and their selection of books are impeccable.

I have been coming here for quite a while now and always the same main problem: BLOODY NOISES!!!
Kids area into a library?! Seriously? Every day, all day there are kids screaming and crying!
And even worst: ADULTS! Phone calls, video calls, loud conversations...
Is this a real library or just another hipster trendy place in the heart of Surry hills?!

Decent. Limited seating especially on a Saturday around noon; not the quietest library. Comfy couches though make it a good place to work. Location is great, near plenty of cafes

Nice place but I don't understand why there are screaming kids at a library. Came to focus and study but not much focus with all the kids yelling and running around. Can't comprehend it at all.

limited seats, normal wifi speed, nothing special.

Terrible planning, why on earth they put a child play area in this place without sound proofing the room? If you want to have kids, stay home or go to the park, not dump them in the library!

love the library but PLEASE SOUNDPROOF THE BLOODY KIDS AREA. OR DONT HAVE ONE AT ALL. I THOUGHT LIBRARIES WERE FOR QUIET AND FOCUS!!!!!!

Nice place, but if you come here to use the Wifi with your laptop, as I did, it simply doesn't work.

There are never enough seats here, and the wifi is often slow - the library is a victim of its own success. The community rooms upstairs are great if you ever have an event to put on!
