Ever since I was a little girl I have had a thing about libraries. The library where I grew up was like a second home to my sister and I and so I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame. The Newtownards library is alright for a small town. It has about 8 computers with the Internet. There were several middle aged men playing World of Warcraft on them — I don’t think that should be allowed as the library is not an Internet café. Maybe the librarian didn’t know? Anyway, there are a few areas to sit and read and a few tables which I have used in the past to fill in forms — Personally I don’t think there is enough seating space in the library. There is a photocopier with a 15p charge per page(expensive?) and a very packed notice board filled to the brim with all the events going on in the area — Jiu Jitsu, bird-watching, club meetings and local independent jewelry stores. There is a small selection of new books and CD’s but most seem to be older. The magazines are more up to date with the latest ‘Men Only’ and ‘New Scientist’ Not a bad library but definitely not the most modern I’ve ever been in — it does its job and serves a purpose. It’s got books and somewhere to sit therefore it’s fine.
