Ravishing library, lovely interior, felt the vibe as soon as I came in. Plenty of space to sit, excellent to read and work individually or with a group. Wide range of books and easy to look for. Friendly staff, didn't have a chance to talk with them but they smiled at me every time I passed by. There's a small playground for the children so it was quite noisy sometimes. But most of the time, it was remarkably quiet. I enjoyed my time there and would certainly comeback.

One of the most beautiful libraries I have ever seen. A clean and quiet environment💚 …

Great librarians who are always helpful and patient. Good computer access. NOISE from children is over the top with no parent instructing their offspring to use ‘inside voices’ A completely separate children’s area would have been easy to incorporate into the new design. The old library had it right…kids downstairs separate equals win win for all. Build them a padded room away from people wishing for quiet. Instruct parents to monitor their crying children.

Well maintained library with indoor greenery. There are a variety of spaces from cubicle-style nooks, soft cushioned seats with tables, stools and a quiet study space on the top floor. The number of quiet spaces is limited so it is best to get in early on weekends.

I recently visited the Woollahra Library and was pleasantly surprised by the modern and welcoming atmosphere. The library had a great selection of books, magazines, and newspapers, as well as computers and other resources for research and study. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the library was clean and well-maintained. I also appreciated the various events and programs offered, including author talks and children's story time. Overall, a great local resource for all ages. Highly recommend!

Fancy library. The greenery was pleasant. There should be more seats/tables though especially during HSC exam period. They could at least put additional foldable tables or chairs on weekends.

A beautifully designed, well thought-out space that caters to a variety of community needs. The greenery around the library is absolutely stunning. If you are planning to use the study/ quiet spaces I would recommend arriving early as these tend to fill up quickly and are consistently full throughout the day/ year. Noise is not really monitored/ policed, and highschool students tend to be disruptive when arriving after school - perhaps keeps this in mind when planning your visit.
