Just at Circular Quay train station, architectural models and tourist info on Ground Level, library service at levels 1 and 2, including recycling facilities, printer/scanners/copiers, public computers, reading light and phone charging. Please don't go to Town Hall Express as that is not only unstaffed, it's very messy.

Amazing library with it's architecture and design. Very comfy areas and nearby to Circular Quay. I have been there almost every weekend for paperwork stuff and some relaxing reading. Clean, quiet, fast WiFi. The staffs were really helpful for anything. I would like to express my thankful for them, particularly Asiah.
