The Gonville library is awesome. Its little and cosy - and they make a nice coffee for only 3.50!! I go there at least twice a week in my tea break to chill out and get a coffee recommend!!

I have lots of fond memories of going with my mother to this library as a child there was always something on and the shelves in the kids section kept me entertained for ours, now I go there to study, its a pleasant place lots of space and easy to concentrate

The library is really good for cheap books. They are only $1 to rent and you can always reissue them over the internet which is great. Such a good system - very happy with it.
