Reviews of Ealing Central Library

D. Á.

The library itself is quite nice and spacious, however the staff are very noisy and are constantly talking to each other and customers very loudly as if they were working in a cafe.

A great place to bring little ones. The Children's department is well stocked and they host weekly events. The late fines for Ealing Libraries are a little steep, but you can always renew your books online.

Its a nice big library, where many people can rrlax. It has enough computers for children reens and adults so the wait isnt long or a problem. Sad its closing for a while but cant wait to see rhe upgraded version. Hope its as comfortable and welcoming as it is now.

Staff are friendly and kind and it's quite useful to use the computers for 45 mins and easy to pay for something to print or buy a product.

My children love books, so I often went to the library in Japan. I thought I'd make a card here as well. As soon as I entered the entrance, there was a person who seemed willing to ask me anything (as an aside, I also received a coronavirus test kit here), and when I told him I wanted to make a card, he directed me to the computer corner right next to it. . Then, enter the registration information (date of birth, contact information, etc.) to obtain temporary numbers for the number of people you want to create. Once that is complete, that person will link the temporary number to your physical card. I feel like I felt safer doing it.) By the way, I was asked for (1) proof that I live in Ealing, and (2) signed proof of identity. For ②, I showed them my visa, but it wasn't enough because it didn't have a signature, so I was asked if I had a bank card with a signature on it, so I showed it to them, and they gave me the OK. I was able to register my children, so I was able to register my two children as well. Adults had to come here by themselves, so only I could register. There are 20 books for adults and 15 for children that can be borrowed for 3 weeks. If your order is overdue, you will be charged money depending on the number of overdue books and days. There is also a children's corner, so it looks like they won't have to worry about finding books to read for the time being. Both borrowing and returning are self-service. Since it's a public library, there are some people occupying seats and doing strange things, but overall I feel like it's a nice and clean library. P.S. If you log in online, you can also order from a library in your area, so if you are looking for something, it may be more efficient to order there rather than going there in person. You will receive an email notification that your reservation has been secured.

Decent library with lots of desk space and USB/plug charger hubs. However, weekday lunch hours consist of chatty school kids playing music etc. One lady who was on her laptop even asked them to be quiet as it was difficult to work. The kids quietened down for a moment before noise resumed again... it’s just disrespectful. Saying that, I could have said something too but I didn’t (as I felt like I would absolutely snap and angrily overreact), however I’m sure if all of us adults did join in to complain together, kids such as these would learn some respect the world over. But in a library, is it our place to do that? The staff could do a lot more to keep the area quiet, as a real library should be. But they were nowhere in sight during this hour. My guess is that they just don’t want to deal with it. Luckily, outside the lunch hours, everything fell silent again and back to feeling like a normal library.

Good library with a superb selection of books - novels, factual books and DIY self help guides. Over 25,000 books and plenty of help and services available to the public for no fee. Staff are hard working and always aim to keep noise levels down. June is the month when noise levels reach their highest - mostly because of students who by majority are there to study but you always have a small segment causing drama for amusement. Fantastic move to keep it open - the people of Ealing rely on the services the library provides.

Very good library in general, but don't call yourselves a children's library when two staff refused to open one of the two toilets (disabled and changing room) for my 2 year old to use the loo (during her first week of potty training). By the time I asked for a key we had been there reading stories for a half hour. We had no option but to pack up and go out into the rain to use the main toilets in the shopping centre. Really disappointing customer service. I used the changing room to change a nappy two weeks ago (but had to ask the staff to unlock the door first) so you need to train your staff on what your policies actually are.

Great library for printing and computing; the book selection is outstanding, almost every book you could need is available! Staff are polite and helpful, noise levels are rather high during the summer but I put that down to the high influx of students during the peak period (GCSE/ALEVEL/HE). Good Job, Ealing!

From a place to study perspective is well equipped, plenty of space and good lighting. Though gets quite crowded during weekend. There is a quiet room which is normally relatively quiet aside the occasional excited teen.

Great library. Very clean and open, with good quality technology if you need it. The staff are absolutely lovely and really helpful. Great addition to our town!

E. L.

Library has good facilities however it is a shame how the library has been reduced in size greatly, also the library is far too loud with kids screaming excessively. This isn't the best place to come to study.
