Took our 2 year old granddaughters twin girls 1st time and we absolutely loved it, they especially enjoyed the beloved rocking horse,(now I remember back in the 70's when I was a youngster and our mum would take us to Exeter library and enjoying the rocking horse 🐴,not sure if the same one?? ) Lovely place to sit and relax with a cafe onsite even better

A great library. We focused on the children section which was lovely. Lots of room and well stocked with books for all ages. Our LO loved the rocking horse and there were plenty of tables for colouring

Lovely atmosphere. Security are very helpful. And any shenanigans, they'll keep calm and bio anything in the bud before it could escalate. The "Libby App" is brilliant too. Definitely give it a try! You wont be disappointed

Please keep toilets clean. You must hire more staff for this and do an hourly clean. I mean that literally. Every hour the toilets should be cleaned because with the amount of people using them and sadly with the amount of people who are irresponsible when using them, the toilets should be cleaned hourly. Noise level is absolutely atrocious here. I understand there is a designated quiet area but why should one such as myself not be able to enjoy the bottom area if I want to? Security should ask people who have the speaker enabled on there phones when making calls to please turn it off. Also those who have the volume on their phone when watching something should be told to put headphones on. People chatting should be asked to whisper. The list goes on. If this library had a noise pollution test performed it would fail. Lastly as others have mentioned I also very much so agreed that the cafe manger is so rude and a grouch. I have noticed that since the first day I ever began to use the library. I don’t even order anything from there because of this. A member of the public should not be disabled to use a part of the library because of a staff member. I remembered something else. When windows are open the curtains knock incredibly loudly against window. Please do something about this. It’s an incessant sound and intolerable.
