Stuart Preston 2 years ago

Positive experience: I used it for the computing. I had no WiFi (or phone signal) but apparently they're getting a new contract soon. I was also allowed 3 sessions. What was neat as the library had a cafe that had quite a buzz. Nice for coffee and a jacket but also a special between 11am and 2pm. The staff were friendly although professional and the DVD selection was quite good. (I don't read..)

Fantastic experience: 21/09/2022 My wife, my mother outlaw, a friend and I went to have our winter covid jab. There was a reasonable wait while we waited our turn. To pass the time I chatted with my fellow patients, I was just telling a joke when I was called in so they didn't hear the punchline. Poor people!

Fantastic experience: I was there for a blood donor session, unfortunately Hull city council or one of their jobsworth staff that run the centre, have decided that all the equipment (tables, chairs, desks, donor chairs, etc have to be fitted with feet so they don't mark the floor, blood transfusion service had been given no prior notice of this requirement, as a result of this NHS Blood and Transplant have had to cancel half this donor session at a cost of around 700 pints of live saving blood and blood products, at a time of national shortages of these products, while the NHS is now trying to catch up with a backlog caused by the vivid pandemic Well done Hull City Council

Positive experience: pros proximity if you are in East Hull Helpful staffs Free internet and wifi with library card Free parking space cafe on the same floor with the books I think its less noisy as a bit positioned away from busy road compared to the Hull central library Beautiful architecture cons limited books limited space limited bus options if you do not have your own means of transport Extra noisy if you visit during lunch owing to the busy cafe
