Library suggestion? (1 Viewer)

[hopeles5ly]

Do any of you have any suggestions of a good library that is quiet, motivating and has resources such as internet usage, lots of good books, word processors and closes late? .. i have my half-yearlies soon as a lot of you people do and i find it quite hard to study at home as i get too distracted by little things and i barely get the amount i want to. Practically i've been going to state library after school on some days but the problem is that it takes too long for me to get back home and not to mention to get there. My local library is then just crap as it is more a day-care center then a actually library lol. I'm looking at areas such as stratty, burwood or somewhere close to the city and i know that there are libareys there but are they any good? and i would go check them out but i don't have a lot time ><" thanks !

where abouts do you live? i know some librarys that close at 8 or 9, but i havent actually been there. fisher at usyd closes at 10 i think. i went there in the holidays a couple of times and the environment is great but it takes me a long time to get there and back.

The state library would be the best place to go:

State Reference Library Mon-Thur: 9 am to 9 pm Fri: 9 am to 6 pm Sat 11 am to 5 pm Sun:11 am to 5 pm
Mitchell Library Mon-Thur: 9 am to 7 pm Fri: 9 am to 6 pm Sat: 11 am to 5 pm Sun: Closed

A girl from my school topped legal studies a few years ago she went to the state library to study and get resources atleast once a week.

Nuh i need a late library for the friday to sunday period of the week! All of them open late and close early.. so if anybody knows one that closes late (dont really care THAT much bout it opening early) can you tell me?!?!

I doubt there will be many libraries that are still open after about 9 or 10pm, maybe go to the library earlier instead and study at home for late hours?

i know stratfhield library is pretty good. it's open till 8pm mon-thurs so that gives you probably 3-4 hours decent study. it's quite big and very quiet, has the internet and lots of books (is two storeys- you've probably seen it). i personally go there sometimes and find it quite good. fully recommend it!

thanks for the suggestion. i think ill check it out this monday.

Bankstown library is pretty good, and is pretty much the same what simbim21 described about the strathfield library, has two storeys as well. You should go there sometime...

Probably won't because i hate the bankstown area in general and it takes too long to get a train there !

I reckon a quiet library would be the one at Chinatown, where its close to Capital Square and opposite from Market City. You may have to take the lift upstairs for a quiet study space. I dont know if the resources are good. Dunno if its too far for you.

Gordon library is excellent. Private study rooms for 2-6 people, individual study desks in all corners, rooms of computers, fax/photocopying facilities etc etc.

Only a two minute walk from the station on a major rail line as well and all buses from Mona Vale terminate at the bus station.

Hours:
Monday to Thursday 10am-9pm
Friday 10am-6pm
Saturday/Sunday 10am-5pm

[mitsui]

haha now how would you know .. do you go to either?

but yeh isn't it better that students from like the two top schools in nsw congregate there? it means your surrounded by an intelligent aura (possibly .. just possibly XP)

i, unfortunately (or maybe not), dont go baulko or JR. LOL but i know people from both to understand that parra lib is off the limit for ppl like me. :mad1:

they make u feel motivated in the short term, but utterly depressed in the long run. =)

[edit]: i think bobness goes baulko if i am not wrong.

@: shinji, yes that azn kid is weird. LOL
