Wow, what a lot of books!
What this library needs is less books - this was particularly evident in the fiction with numerous multiples (although I understand that there is a per capita requirement so it is mean of me to say) 
City Library is part of a cultural precinct in the centre of town, over 3 leavels and has a funky concierge desk at the entry PLUS open until 9pm! 
Signage was consistent throughout and there were at least two staff desks on each floor, although during my evening visit more were unstaffed. Could smaller (more secure) pods be a better option?! maybe
Some areas of the library, like the Children's section feel quite spacious, while other areas are a little crowded but overall a vibrant service with a "City feel" is delivered.
They had a fabulous magazine collection, which obviously fits well with the commuter customers.
The LOTE area was quite large but collections varied in size - some very small - but with fab posters. 
The teenage area was small but funky and the nook under the stairs created an unusual space.
