Digital, books and housing advice all in one place.

Nice place to study

Pleasant staff and a comfortable place to spend a while browsing. Quiet oasis right in the centre of bubbly Cardiff.

As a Libary for books. Its great. I like to take my breaks here. But because its a hub (something to do with the council), there are forever people coming and going and lots of noise. Not like a Libary should be. Also, homeless people come and catch up on sleep there in the chairs when they can.

Wide, spacious, easy to find and navigate (inside of it) building. We are three adults (one with mobility difficulties) and this was a good place to have a rest while exploring the city centre. There is a (radar key operated) disability toilet available on the ground floor that is 100% restriction free to access. There are also ladies/gents toilets nearby the disabled toilet. The building allows access to all floors, even if you are not a member. The range of books, from what we saw just browsing through the isles is good, though not amazing. The shelves are not floor to ceiling high, but more chest level, which was surprising for us, as this way there is a lost of space that could be filled with books. Architectural design choice, we suppose, because it was all the same across all floors and all sections of the library. There are nice (though not amazing) views from the top floor and it's fairly quiet, allowing for a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city outside. There is an interesting sculpture right outside the library, which is noteworthy as well: a lot of children try to climb it! Overall, a good escape, but not an essential stop for visitors to the city.
