  Even on days where there is miraculously no loud events, there are constantly screaming children and people who don't know how to talk quietly.

  The icing on the cake is the weekly kid's events that leave kids screaming and running all over the place, and annoying songs being played loudly on repeat.

  Great family-friendly library, good pre school kids sessions.

  They have events right where the books are, leaving the books inaccessible. Today they have a music event. A music event! In a library! In the time I've been here, I've seen a lot of people leave because they're trying to read, study or work, like you're meant to in a library, but they can't because someone thought that the best place to have a loud music event is in a study space. They've also taken nearly every chair in the library for this event too, leaving people that have come here to use the library nowhere to sit.

  During the Christmas period they had a woman playing the same tunes over and over on an accordion for hours. Many people left in rage during that period too.

  I've been to a lot of libraries, but I've never been to a worse one than this. It's a very small, cramped library with an abundance of noise.

  Absolutely love this place. Great staff, great community centre. Great place for people of all ages and walks of life. Wonderful resource for learning, reading and so many other things.

  Great service for books, accessing all libraries in Vic . The "fly in the ointment" however is that is used as child minding centre during the week by some parents who just let their little darlings run wild.

  Good selection, but massive network of other libraries to choose books from. Go online and you can reserve a book from a library a few hours drive away and in a few days the book will be at this library. Only issue is the amount if noise from the constant events the library runs.

  The other week they were playing a kid's movie very loudly.
