If you need a JP near NSW service then come straight away to the Wollongong library and meet someone at the counter and let them know your need and they will arrange for an appointment of any JP available there.

Friendly staff, great place to find a quiet spot to work or read. Highly recommend this library.

However I will like to mention that there are certain people that speak loudly and sometimes rudely on the phone, which can ruin the atmosphere for others, it only takes one person to do this and on this day caused everyone to leave the room…

Asking him kindly to take the phone call outside did not seem to sway his discussions unfortunately and I did see security walking around which you would hope you do not need in a public space.

This library is beautiful. I love the vibe, it's quiet but not suffocatingly silent, and it's calm without being a ghost town. There's areas of the library where you can chat with your friends and there's areas that are silent and more secluded.
The sections are clear and organised, and the staff are always lovely. The library is open until 9'o'clock Mon-Thu!
You can't get better than this.

The Best library, with very friendly and helpful staff, a large range of books and DVDs and other services (see the website) I always love going there

I've recently reinvigorated my interest in reading - this library has a friendly, calm vibe with a varied selection of books, including many recent releases. It's also easy to reserve items from the collection and I've found that they arrive promptly. Most of the books also seem to be in pristine condition which is a bonus.

A good place to find a quiet spot and sit. The staff are friendly and welcoming and provide quality service. Easy to sign up for and plenty of resources. They also collaborate with nearby libraries in the region to share resources to improve their service. Well laid out and easy to find things.

It's one of the best place for grabbing a quite time to study and find a cabin guys. That's the best place that personally for me has proved to be very effective.

Quite good! Extensive range of books for all age groups, including an area for kids to play and read. Good librarians too!

Very friendly and helpful staff. I know this is a small library but it's growing. I have requested a few books not available in the catalogue and they have ordered it in. Thank you.

Seems like a really good library (only visited once) with a dedicated Harry Potter themed common room? !

Only rated down for future studiers as even though there are plenty of good spots, none are have a nice view. Petty I know

It’s a great library, something for everyone, all of the locations have heaps to offer the avid reader, with entertainment for all, online access and help, shows for the young and the young at heart, papers foreign and domestic, magazines, movies, tv series, audio books, large print, online books and heaps more, there’s something here even if you don’t read

So many books with words. If I would read I might like it. I lost sock there aswell and it was green. I think I was robed and Josh died at the end of the story.

Very nice kids area (nearly all books on kids friendly displays) puzzles available and a few other toys for quiet play. Super friendly staff too!

Clean, well stocked and quite good for study, especially the rooms you can borrow. However the selection of books is limited and there always seem to be some missing.

The staff is not good. They say it was your fault for being unorganised when you had to come late. You don't just say that. People are busy and they are not respecting that. Sure, the library is alright but the staffs are not respectful. Wonder if they were ever taught manners.

Great library with a great collection of books and audio files. Computers and learning spaces are also provided. One negative aspect is it might be a little bit noisy if you come after school hours.

The Harry Potter Trivia night that occurred today was magnificent. The prizes were fantastic, the trivia was lots of fun and the people running were super nice. There was nothing wrong with it at all. I apologise for anyone saying anything bad about anything, however this was not me. The library is great, great people, great events and a great atmosphere. There is nothing wrong with this library at all. The library has great reading facilities and an important quiet library for all needs. The library has a great range of genres and media types. I am a regular person to come to this library and I feel very welcome.
