Traffic in Sydney peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the unit or street number up to the suburb, state and four-digit postcode; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Doesn't even have a printer. I feel it really needs to be renamed from a library

It’s quite a small place, and for a library, there are only two large tables. Whenever someone writes at these tables, there’s always a self-proclaimed “justice warrior” who jumps in to tell them not to write too loudly. But honestly, the issue lies with the table itself—not the people using it. It’s unfair to blame others for a structural problem. Also, the signage is really unclear. It’s very difficult to find where this place actually is, which makes the experience even more confusing for first-time visitors.

For the library: small space with access to power and USB ports. Big comfy chairs but the tables near computers are too tall to use for study. Toilets are close by and clean. Wifi and cafe make it a cosy space to take a chill break when in the hustle bustle of the city.

It's not a real library. It's just a corner under the Town Hall building where there are some books you can borrow. There are two tables you can use your laptops on and read books. It's next to a Cafe with no door in between, so it's noisy most of the time. There are toilets here too. A good spot to have some rest nonetheless.

It's not a library site but a 'link' which means in practice about four desks, news papers and a small range of books. The desks are well setup for laptop users. It's fairly quiet and it was easy to find a space. Also on the floor is a good, cheap cafe. So a good hideyhole for doing some work.
