Shirley

What unexpected place to find the library. Shirley library has had a shopping centre and multi-storey car park grow up around it and as an outsider you don't even know it is there until you are upon it but for regular shoppers it is very convenient.

Outside it is fairly non descript but it has nice clear signage, obviously lots of convenient parking, and inside is a very vibrant space.

A circular desk, as most of the branches have had, along one wall and here too a Council customer service desk.

A great feeling of space throughout and lots of little nooks to sit and read or chat.
