Central Library

situted right at the top of the dolphin centre, it does have lifts available to reach the library and once in there you have further lifts to reach the different levels. If this library doesnt have the book you are after it can be ordered in from another if you request it. the childrens section has a play corner where kids are entertained on certain days and they have pictures to colour as well as story time for the children again check noticeboard for exact times.
On the top floor they have a little café where you can relax for a bite to eat and drink.

Poole library is outstandind, it is conveniently situated and very modern yet welcoming. There is wide range of books, CD’s, DVD’s and much more. There is computor and internet access to anyone with a library card. Aswell as other areas like ‘the chillout zone’- a place to sit, read, chat or reflect quietly, childrens area, a café and help desks everywhere. Taking and returning books is now much simpler with electronic scanners which you function yourself for quick and easy results

Poole central Library has everything you could dream of in a library the choice of books is vast as well as their choice of Music CDs and DVDs to hire. These are charged at around a pound a week so it is much cheaper than the video store and you have them for longer. When Poole library was refurbished a few years back installed was an IT suite with free internet access for everyone and although I obviously have my computer at home if I ever need I am a short bus ride from one.
I have never had any problems with staff they have always been extremely helpful.
The central Library is situated above the bus station and Dolphin centre so it has great access for public transport. Car parks are a little further away but still within a short walk and although it is set on two levels there are lifts fitted.
This is by far the best library in the area.
